Ann Hirsch commented on the blog post 'Pucker Up & Applique!'

The Walmart near me has never carried fabric, so I recently drove 50 miles to the one that used to have a large fabric department only to find it gane. The only fabric store I have is Jo-Annes and that,s about 20 miles. I do buy a lot on line but it…

Unfortunately I ruined my last serger by blowing it out with what I thought was air and it turned out to be spray adhesive!! I now have a Huskylock 936 and am very careful! It does have a coverlock feature which does a very good job but it's a…

This video demonstra
This video demonstrates how to fix / adjust / repair the timing of the hook on a sewing machine. If the thread from your needle isn't getting caught by the hook that rotates around, this video explains what to adjust to fix that. Requires some very basic tools and takes 15-30 minutes - maybe less.
