I've got an Elna Diva 9000. I'm using the regular zig zag. It goes along just fine and then throws in a couple of straight stitches and goes back to zig zagging. Is the timing out? Do I need to take…Continue

Anyone have a Huskylock 905 Serger? I absolutely love mine! I noticed this week that when I'm changing the thread that the lower looper eyes don't line up directly. When I push the tab to align them,…Continue

Tell us what you think!
I love this idea. My first ever sewing machine was 2003, After my Mother had passed away. I had images of making so many things from her clothes that I had kept. The first thing I made with my 100.00 brother machine was a memory flag. Yep, a flag which I placed on the flag pole that was on my front pouch. It did not last the wind nor weather. I took it down once it started to fall apart. I thought to myself what am I doing, I can't sew. Here is where I needed a group such as this. IN 2005 I retired and moved to another state. I thought I would finally learn how to sew and make things with all the buttons and such that I kept of my mothers. Well, once here. I opened up the box that I kept my brother sewing machine in. And set it up. It wouldn't work. It wouldn't keep a stitch. It was broken I was sure of it. I took the booklet out read trouble shooter page and still couldn't figure out was was wrong. That year I became a member of our Local FREECYCLE SITE. I was just going to let it go to someone that could fix the darn thing and give up sewing anything. Well, one of the members actually helped me fix my sewing machine. It was the tension, And because of that I made the memory pillow that I posted here of my mothers clothes and buttons.... Things like these. or thoughts I should say. play in my head as if I can ever sew. many of those images to reality. But now that there is a group that I can go to.. Before tossing out the brother sewing machine. I'll come here for help... This is so great.
