Anyone up for a little Singer troubleshooting help? by
David Nebenzahl
My (previously) trusty Singer no longer sews, and I can't figure out why.
It's a "No. 15", at least according to Singer's serial # scheme from their
website. (Except that the manual I downloaded shows a treadle machine while
mine has that newfangled e-lectric motor; the kind with gears instead of...

Step 1 by
Atom1
I thought I'd share my transgression.
Step 1: Admitting there's a problem (defeating the denial)
I order lots of fabrics via internet- I have more than enough for the
hereafter.
I currently am on a serious fabric diet. I have squished myself right out
of my sewing room- my DH reminds me of this...

losing my sewing room by
Lisa
whaaaa!
I went from having a whole bedroom to the laundry room and now in a
few weeks we will move to a house with an even smaller laundry room.
(That's what happens when you have kids--they get the bedrooms!)
Anyway, my question is how to organize my stuff so that I can still
sew. I was thinking...

Advice sought for fabric application/gluing problem please. by
salmon
Hello, I want to apply some irregular shaped poyester fabric shapes to
a tee shirt without sewing.
The polyester shapes would take far too long to hem and sew on so I
want to find a way of cutting them so they don't fray and then apply
them to a tee-shirt where they will be secure, not lift at the...

Cloth Nativity Set by
[email protected]
I am looking for a pattern for a cloth nativity set. I recently saw
the cutest cloth nativity set. However, the owner had misplaced the
pattern and could not remember who the maker of the pattern was. She
made them either in the late 70s or the 80s. These figures were about
8-10 inches in...

I often wondered how to find out how to compare threads for size.
There is a book called Threads for Lace, which also includes embroidery
threads.
Not only do I make lace, but I have been doing my City & Guilds Machine
Embroidery. This book has been invaluable to me, especially if I need...

I think I am nuts . . . by
Sami
I just went through my stash, which is very little really, and am
rather amused by all the mish-mash that is in it. I have silk and
lovely cottons, and some fabric I bought and never used for a quilt.
Now looking at it - some of it years after buying it - and I realize I
am very much the magpie...

Singer 411 by
Sally Holmes
Just bought a new-to-me sewing machine from ebay. The seller was a bit
vague - it turns out it was his deceased mother-in-law's machine and neither
he nor his wife know much about it: he only realised it was a sewing machine
when he tried to move the cabinet and it felt a bit heavy! - so I...

Tough cheap machine??? by
duh
I know this type of discussion usually starts a war, but just looking at
possible options. I had to take my Janome 5124 in for adjustment today.
I was sewing a backpack and going through thick fabric layers.
The machine has not been adjusted in 5 years, so it might not have been
