Happy Dance--tallit finished! by hfw
Decided to add fringes in addition to the ritual fringes in the corner. My husband has long arms and the tallit, even though as long as usual, looked as if it needed a bit more length. The fringe is made up of lengths of perle cotton individually threaded and knotted (yes, I have a blister!). Now,...

Bernina 830 by SueJohnston
Can any one advise me if it is worth having a Bernina 930 serviced. I have been given one to keep, but the machine has not been used for many years. It looks in very good condition and has many attachments. Or should I trade it against a new toyota machine. I have no sewing experience, but would...

A Jones Sewing Machine by Peter Murphy
Sometime ago a friend of mine gave me a Jones portable electric sewing machine (portable in the sense that it could double as a boat anchor). The following is stamped on the bottom of the base; JA 58 and 855252 YC. I imagine the former is the date of manufacture and the latter os the...

A delightful surprise by joy beeson
I pulled on pants and shirt, wondered whether it was Saturday, and, intending to check the clock on my computer, opened the sewing-room door -- and exclaimed "Hey! It's *bright* in here!" With a new coat of snow on the lawn and the sun low in the east, I could have sewn in here by natural...

Question: Downsizing Childs pattern by dnmgiordano
I am making a dress for my daughter who is a size 3 from a pattern in which the smallest size is 7. I traced the pattern and played with it until it looked right, then made a muslin. I did pretty good on the bodice and am now going to start on the skirt then continue with a long sleeve jacket. I...

Janome 9000 by Steve & Paulette Lashley
DH just informed me this is my Christmas present. What is the best software, or what do I need, to adapt other formats of images? I am not even sure if I am asking this correctly, but I noticed that there are companies that cater to certain brands of machines, and I would like to know how easy,...

Husqvarna Quilt Designer trouble by Old Lady Bishop
Hello. I have a quilt designer that I am sort of afraid to use because I seem to blow a fuse with every project. Granted, I am not the most skilled quilter, but it seems that the slightest tug leads to disaster. Has anyone else had this problem? I could really use some advice. Thank you. Janet

Zippers by Fakhina Sohl
Are different brands of zippers compatible? I have a travel pack, which used to have a small day pack that zipped on to the front of it with a YKK #10 spiral zip. Somebody stole the daypack. I'm planning to get another daypack, and sew one side of a zip onto it so I can attach it to my travel...

Knock-off legalities? by Penny S
Joy Hardie's cat walked across a keyboard and came up with this: I think if you copy something for mass production re-sale you have to change or modify it by 30% to make it legal (from what I recall in my baby swimwear production days). But, if you are just making something for...
