why turn clothes inside out for washing by
Alan Horowitz
I first observed people doing this when washing clothes by hand, in
the Philippines. I presumed it was a local folkloric nonsense.
Just recently, I noticed that the fine print of the Care Label of my
jeans, includes a instruction to turn inside out before washing.
What is the reason for it?

Question about Old Viking Sewing Machine by

rows of 15 settings/bs LCR Manual) red selection stitch/embroidery?
knob which will not turn and will only allow normal stitch and zig
zag. I've tried to search...

Singer Monogrammer for slant needle by
Tom Farrell
Well, I got a Singer Monogrammer for slant needle machines on ebay for
a few bucks, and it just arrived.
The good news: it's in excellent condition.
The bad news: No way in heck will it attach to a vertical needle
sewing machine, such as mine. The mounting point is angled for a slant
needle...

Sewing machines and table hockey by
Arri London
The cats like to play table hockey after we've gone to bed. This seems
to consist of chasing each other over the dining room table! Anything on
the table gets knocked out of the way. Don't know how they score points
though LOL
Left the Pfaff on said table last night...It was on its back...

Replacing bra shelf foam with horsehair? by
wurstergirl
I'm trying to innovate on a support shelf built into a soft cup bra,
which is made of tricot-fused foam. It would be nice if it were a
little cooler and thinner, making "less bra". (In a size 48J, that's a
lotta foam.) My current thoughts are toward layering tricot with an
equally supportive,...

Singer Touch-Tronic 2010 by
[email protected]
Found it this afternoon at a thrift shop, under $30.00. It's in need
of a thorough cleaning, but makes a beautiful stitch, sounds good, and
it's a touch-panel machine!! 29+ built-in stitches, and so easy to use.
I think this one might be the machine I give to GDD. Except it has an
extra-long,...

Fabric inventory software recommendations? by
Smokey
Hello all,
Can anyone direct me to a good (but preferably cheap or FREE) software
program to track my sewing fabric inventory? Some of the commercially
available programs cost upwards to $30-$50, which makes freeware or sharewar
much more appealing!
Thanks!

Problems with Viking Rose by
