Happy Dance--tallit finished! by
hfw
Decided to add fringes in addition to the ritual fringes in the
corner. My husband has long arms and the tallit, even though as long as
usual, looked as if it needed a bit more length. The fringe is made up of
lengths of perle cotton individually threaded and knotted (yes, I have a
blister!).
Now,...

Bernina 830 by
SueJohnston
Can any one advise me if it is worth having a Bernina 930 serviced. I
have been given one to keep, but the machine has not been used for
many years. It looks in very good condition and has many attachments.

experience, but would...

A Jones Sewing Machine by
Peter Murphy
Sometime ago a friend of mine gave me a Jones portable electric sewing
machine (portable in the sense that it could double as a boat anchor).
The following is stamped on the bottom of the base; JA 58 and 855252 YC. I
imagine the former is the date of manufacture and the latter os the...

A delightful surprise by
joy beeson
I pulled on pants and shirt, wondered whether it was
Saturday, and, intending to check the clock on my computer,
opened the sewing-room door -- and exclaimed "Hey! It's
*bright* in here!" With a new coat of snow on the lawn and
the sun low in the east, I could have sewn in here by
natural...

Question: Downsizing Childs pattern by
dnmgiordano
I am making a dress for my daughter who is a size 3 from a pattern in which
the smallest size is 7. I traced the pattern and played with it until it
looked right, then made a muslin. I did pretty good on the bodice and am
now going to start on the skirt then continue with a long sleeve jacket.

Janome 9000 by
Steve & Paulette Lashley
DH just informed me this is my Christmas present. What is the best

even sure if I am asking this correctly, but I noticed that there are
companies that cater to certain brands of machines, and I would like to know
how easy,...

Husqvarna Quilt Designer trouble by
Old Lady Bishop
Hello. I have a quilt designer that I am sort of afraid to use
because I seem to blow a fuse with every project. Granted, I am not
the most skilled quilter, but it seems that the slightest tug leads to
disaster. Has anyone else had this problem? I could really use some
advice. Thank you. Janet

ok, gang, I opened my big mouth when the RV writer in the local newspaper

them right sides together on three sides, making a bag.

Knock-off legalities? by
Penny S
Joy Hardie's cat walked across a keyboard and came up with this:
I think if you copy something for mass production re-sale you have to
change or modify it by 30% to make it legal (from what I recall in my

But, if you are just making something for...
