Help with machine by
Betty
I have an 1130 Bernina and I am having terrible trouble with it. Does
anyone have experience with this. It ran for 15 years with no trouble at
all and all of a sudden it just dies while I am sewing. It may come on
again but it is more likely not to. I have had it to the dealer twice and it

Thoughts on arrival of new machines by
Valkyrie
As I have been reading the NGs having to do with sewing a thought all of a
sudden occurred to me. The decisions involved, waiting for and arrival of
new machines (often referred to as my/our baby) is much like that of the
arrival of a much anticipated child. I know writing out that check after...

Hi all,
I'm fairly new to this newsgroup, though I've been lurking a while. It seems
like a great resource.
Anyway, I'm in the market for a new sewing machine. Previously I've been
borrowing my mum's old mechanical machine, which does straight, a couple of
varieties of zig-zag, and what I think are...

fitting dummy for men by
duh who
I know there's instructions online for doing your own fitting dummy (or
whatever they are called). Can anyone point me to one of those instruction
sites, or to someone who sells adjustable dummies for men?

Hello,
I just moved in with my boyfriend who has a beautiful antique couch/
chair set. The upholstery is is a dark, forest green. The wood on
the furntiure is very dark brown. Our walls are creme colored, and

what may work?

Shot fabric by
duh who
Not much out there on shot fabric. I find a little. I'd also be looking at
something of shirting quality, little thicker than maybe quilting needs.
Anybody know any sources? I was looking at Portsmouth Fabrics, but their
website is broken when you try to look at the detail of a fabric.

Iron on transfers of pictures by
Carol
Has anyone used iron on transfers for putting pictures on tshirts or
pillow cases? Any tips? Is it best to copy the picture directly onto
the transfer paper or have picture scanned and then use a printer?
Thanks.
