Deciding what machine to get really depends on how you're going to use it, like others have said. Whether or not you're sewing everyday/everything, or if you're going to use it once every 3-6months to sew a garment, or once in awhile to mend. I use…

Looks like you did a great job! I bought material to make swimsuits for my girls but I've been a bit hesitant since I haven't done them before and I need to get on it. Your photo has encouraged me, ha! I'm determined to get them done today.

Anthony, you may not be able to find that manual as a free download, but if you google the model number you can find several sites where you can purchase the manual as a .pdf file. I searched for a few minutes and found some sites to get you started…

I am wondering the same thins as Lori. And why would you need to bind just one of the raw edges?

Jan...I don't know if you've already found what you're looking for or not. But here's a link to a Threads page where it discusses incorrect instructions for the top, which were given in the original article. There's quite a bit of discussion on it a…

Profile Information

What type of sewing do you enjoy?
garment, drapery, home decor, quilting, cross stitch, embroidery
What type(s) of sewing machine(s) do you have?
I have a Viking Huskvarna Constitution 200, which I've had for 21yrs. and has just recently gone on the blink, but I think it's only the power cord. I need to get it checked.

My mother-in-law gave me her old Bernina 2000DE overlock, which I still haven't completely figured out. It works but has some quirks that she is apparently familiar with, but I am not. :)

I also have a Huskylock 1003 LCD which I bought off of Ebay, but again, I'm trying to familiarize myself with it. I have never used sergers before, but have a goal to work on these machines this summer. :)
What brand of patterns do you prefer?
I have always found myself buying first Butterick, then McCalls, and occasionally a Simplicity pattern. I have yet to try Vogue or Burda.

Question - I don't know where to post it.

I'm wondering if anyone knows whether or not I need to pre-shrink nylon tulle if I am using it for a skirt?

I've used it for crafts and costumes before, but never for a skirt. I've actually searched the internet but have not been able to find an answer for this question. Any comments or opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi Alie, the apron is a Simplicity pattern. It is one of their retro reissues. I don't have the number right now. Do you want me to look it up? Joyce

Hi Alie, sorry it took me all day to get back to you. The pattern number is 3544. I made some patterning changes, added facings for sewing buttons and buttonholes. Also for some reason the style lines at the shoulders of the apron are different on the pattern pieces and the picture on front of the envelope. The real look is shown on the direction page though. I smoothed out the line to get a look more like the pattern envelope.

Hi Alie,

I drew your name in the garment-fabric swap. I'd like to ask if you have any special requests or perhaps any special dislikes in fabric. I wouldn't like to send you something you hated!

Best,
Robyn

Hi Alie, I received my fabric right on time and I love it. I have a project all planned out for it as soon as I get these civil war dresses done. Thank you so much. Derenda
