Question: sewing chiffon problem by
[email protected]
I've been trying to sew chiffon and am having a problem with the fabric
being pulled to the left. It seems that the thread pulls it that way,
but it could be the feed dog. This is especially a problem in sewing a
baby hem at the corners, since there is nothing to hold onto in back.
Can anyone...

clothes which she left with me. Nice lined wool slacks and a skirt, a
former purchase; the pants lack slightly over 10 inches meeting in the

Dinner! by
[email protected]
Ha, bet you're thinking this is OT, right?
I found a beautiful deep, true red damask tablecloth and 21--yes,
count 'em, 21! matching napkins for $2.00! Most of them never used.
Plus a delicate white hand-crocheted cloth for $1.00. Feels like linen
thread was used making it, and looks like it was...

Pricing? by
Carey1003
When you sew for others how do you figure out pricing? Do I charge an hourly
rate? Do I charge differently for children and adults, plain vs. fancy? How
do you figure costs if they furnish all the materials? Do you add your
shopping time to the hourly rate if you have to do all the shopping or...

Hi all! I usually just read this group for info, but I have a question
this time.

My husband offered to buy me a sewing machine for christmas, and we went

Nevtex Patterns by
Joy Hardie
Have any of you tried sewing with "Nevtex" patterns? They make some
dance leotard and ball gowns...and John Travolta catsuits for men.
Just wondering if they work out nicely and how the fit is.
