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...

Hi, I'm new to this group. I know buying sewing machines is a very personal thing, but I'm going to ask anyhow :-) I'm looking to buy a sewing machine for my wife. New to sewing, and only really needed for repairs and little projects here and there, for the forseeable near future. One of 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...

what is the American equivalent? by Penny Lemire
I'm hoping someone of our Australian correspondents can help me with a material I've seen specified in some directions, but can't identify. The directions to make your own pleater board call for "Vilene Fusible Badge Backing 1050HF", and googling this only results in a pointer to hte same...

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...

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...

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 the fabric...
