Help! Turning belt right side out by
TammyM
I haven't sewed in ages. I'm making a simple vest (waistcoat, if'n you're
from the UK), with back ties. I just stitched the ties, and the
instructions say to turn right side out. I seem to remember there's a
trick for this, and possibly even a special tool. I ain't got the tool,
so can anyone...

Welmoed Sisson
The Designer 1 by Viking has a two-height presser foot control,
controled by a button on the front panel. Push it once, the presser
foot goes up halfway. Push it again, the presser foot goes up a little
more. Very nice feature. The D1 doesn't have a "traditional" presser
foot lever; you press on...

Pinking Shears by
[email protected]
I have two pair of pinking shears that are probably 40 - 50 years old.
They are Wiss brand and in very good condition. However, they need

them. Any information...
