Some new pix... by

burgundy bridesmaids went up, and you can even see where Alan went for
his walk last weekend, when he abandoned me to the sewing, if you dare
to click on his pages! I'll try to get the first sets of pix of the
blue bridesmaids up...

Help please.... My Singer 27K (old) has indigestion by
canna
I have a copy of the old Singer 27k manual, but even so cannot improve
the mess I'm in. The machine sews with a long line of thread on the
top surface of the material, with intermittant loops over the thread.
The fun starts underneath the material, where there is a tangled
forest of sewing...

I have a question for those of you who use dress forms. I had a
"vintage" dress form given to me. It is a Sears Roebuck Magic Fit form

there. The little bags of hardware are still sealed. The instructions
are with it. It even...

Overlocker - thread breaks by
Vilna
Hi everyone!
I bought an overlocker Elna 744 recently. It does all the stitches
beautifully but not the cover hem. If I'm lucky the left needle skips
stiches but normally the thread breaks. It's only the top left needle
that seems to have problems. I've tried everything the manual suggests
and I...
