Hi everyone, I've been looking for the red fabric that is used to make the lint brushes that you brush one way to pick up the lint and then remove it by burshing the other way. The fabric has a very strong nap. I bought a hand mitt made of this to pick up pet hair at Petco and discovered it is...

Hello, A long, long, time ago I read a post here that gave the measurements for various size dolls. Not the height, but the chest, mid-section, arm and legs. It was specific for sewing doll clothes. Seems not all dolls are created equally in circumference. I printed out the post, then lost it....

Hi, I have promised my father that I would re-line his old leather bomber jacket for him, but I cannot seem to find any replacement map lining fabric. Does anyone know of any place where I can purchase lining with a map print? Thank you!

I got my birthday prez a day early: a Pfaff 2044 tonight, 90 days same as cash. I got the floor model that has been a demo for 3 months. I am so pleased! DH gave me a certificate for any new sewing machine I wanted, so we drove over to the Pfaff dealer and I sat and played on a few and...

I have a very simple teddy bear pattern, but the ears keep coming out rectangular. How do I sew it so that the ears turn around round? Hmm.. I hope that made sense. The bear is about 10 inches tall, so the ears are pretty small. There's no fur or anything, just cotton fabric. I'm hand- sewing...

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,...

Many posters here have said that they find nippers (or thread clippers?) indispensible when sewing. I am trying to find a pair. I want them to be small, light, plastic-handled and of good quality. Is the one-finger "ear" a useful thing? (without ever having used one I think it adds little...

Hi. I am new to serging and am getting rather frustrated. I have an Elna 744. I am trying to do an overlock 3 stitch. I have threaded and rethreaded my machine dozens of times. I have read and re-read the manual and watched the video. No matter what I do I cannot get the machine to lock the...

Me again :) I am looking to replace the ironing board cover that came with my ironing board. I bought the board because it was the best construction- but the manufacturer cut corners with the cover. What should I look for to know that it is a good quality? I will not sew one, and I do not want...

Hi all. Can someone please tell me how to finish the last corner of satin blanket binding? I can't figure out how to do this so that it matches the other mitered corners and looks nice. Help!

Does any one know anything about the Singer 431G? My sister's friend has offered it to me, but it probably needs a service, although it is working ok and is nice and clean. It still has the orginal case and attachments. It is very old and looks similar to a 401G. It also comes with four needle...
