Searching for a sewing machine tool
Yesterday I got a quick glimpse of the Fons & Porter show. I wasn't able to
watch much, as we were getting ready to go out for the day. But, in the limited time I was able to see the show I saw them use some sort of tool that attached to a sewing machine that allowed a person to sew perfect circles. I could see that you cut out a circle, adjusted the tool, placed the circle on another pc. of fabric and placed it all on the center of the circle on a pin. I'm not sure if there was a special food needed as well. I could really use this tool, does anyone know what it is called or better yet, a place that I can order it? I have googled, since I have no idea what the tool is called I'm having trouble finding it. Thank you very much. |

Some around here know machines but you could try rec.crafts.sewing - they might be more into machine sewing as opposed to cross stitch and embroidery in general. Thank you, I'll post there too. I do embroidery and know a lot of ppl who do both, so I thought posting this here would be ok. |

This is too curious to igno
Here's a link to the show you probably watched: http://www.ket.org/tvschedules/episo...&&layout=popup which probably dealt with "circle attachment for sewing machine", which led to this tutorial" http://www.fibreandstitch.com/pdf/circle.pdf and this tutorial, which covers both the "flower stitching attachment" and the circles via thumbtack method: http://www.sewnews.com/library/sewne...rary/aamach11/ I might have to go try this now...and I have nothing that needs circles or flowers! Good luck! Lynn |

No problem posting here, there just aren't a lot of people who sew a lot h ere :-). I think I know what you are talking about and I'm wondering if it might be at the Clothilde site? I can't lay hands on my catalogue but you could try. CiaoMeow ^;;^ PAX, Tia Mary ^;;^ (RCTQ Queen of Kitties) Angels can't show their wings on earth but nothing was ever said about their whiskers!

IIRC it has lots of odd and ends for sewing machines and quilting. http://www.nancysnotions.com/ Lucille |
