What is the "T" for? I assume "Top" because the DCET does the "top & bottom" or sort-of reversible cover stitch, which the DCE does not. Maybe it was the addition of that extra feature that made this machine such a PITA. Mine does the cover as well and I basically don't convert that often because it does take time. It's not the conversion that takes the time, it's the getting it adjusted to work properly with my chosen fabric that takes anywhere from 10 minutes up. :P That part happens whether it's already set up for cover stitch or not. I would have preferred a dedicated machine. I have had no problems with my machine at all and use it daily for many types of work. What specific kinds of fabric and garments are you sewing? I have had very mixed results, as you no doubt read. gabrielle |

Great. My silk dupioni turned into crepe when I dyed it purple....which isn't bad, except now I need one more yard to magically turn into crepe again - and it won't do anything but stay dupioni. And, now, it appears my computer is sick. That's really weird, my sewing machines and serger are still working fine!. Hmmm. Joy (Side note: Is something goofy going on with alt.sewing?

I have had very mixed results, as you no doubt read. I am sewing everything from stretch velvet to silk chiffon. I sew alot for the ballet and ice skaters. I whip out children's sportswear for my kids.....but that is really easy stuff like cotton knits. I don't have ANY tension difficulties....but maybe I do and am too ignorant to know it. I do wish I could use the differential to gather more than it does........that would be my one request. Joy |
