Hello, I've just become interested in the Singer Featherweight sewing machines. I've looked at a number of web pages, but cannot find one that explains the difference between a 221 and a 221-1. Does anyone on this list know the answer, or where I can go to find out? Thanks for your help.

I have some lovely mens's dress shirts I bought in Italy with great, thick buttons made of bakelite. I have searched high and low for a manufacturer of similar buttons but have been completely unable to come across them. Can anyone recommend a good source of shirt buttons online? I have done...

I have a bunch of women's t-shirts (the form-fitting type) that have high necklines. I would like to lower the necklines, if possible - preferably scoop and not V. I'm not sure how to do this (without stretching, puckering, etc.). Is binding necessary on these mostly 100% cotton T's, or can i...

This morning I interviewed with an interior decorator for a job. Actually, we interviewed each other, and we both came away with the notion that we will be able to work well together. The interview was at her condo. I arrived there to discover that it is a secure gated community, and she had given...

Hello, I am looking for patterns for Musketeer costumes. I am particularly interested in the tabards, both from the earlier "Three Musketeers" period and later "The Man in the Iron Mask" periods. But what I really have been unable to find is a pattern for a riding cassock/cloak as seen in the...

Another online community I belong to held an "online shower," which is kind of like a secret pal kind of a thing. Well the deadline to send out your gift was Oct 1.

I want to sew my own mascot costume. I'm interested in the ones with a lot of plush and foam which make you look big and round. Are there any books on the subject out there? What about patterns?

Hello all, I've been lurking for a little while here. I don't do too much sewing other than quilts, but very occasionally do some 'home sewing' - curtain toppers, etc. When my daughter was young I sewed a lot of her clothes. She's grown & married now. I'd like to make a couple of small fleece...

If it says Buttons, or Thrill, I am not reading it. Enough, already!

I have a beautiful GreenWing Macaw who shed his feathers in good condition. I have so many that I would like to use them in a sewing project. Does anyone have any information on how to use feathers in sewing? I think they would have to be removable for cleaning the garment as they would...

Good morning - There is a small, sheetmetal plate that goes over the heavy ring that holds the bottom mechanism in place. Hard to describe, but its the part under the machine that controls the bottom half of the stitch. For some reason, when I'm doing a zig-zag stitch, the needle will hit that...
