Looking for Fabric by
Jodi
Hi All,
I'm new to this group, so I hope no one minds me jumping right in with
questions.
Do any of you buy fabric online? I checked out two samples of drapery
fabric from Hancock and I wanted to see if I could find a better price
online or at a different store, but I'm having a heck of a time...

Mignon
Hello! I have a favorite 4-piece outfit that fits and wears like a dream
(pants, vest top, and jacket); however, it is winter wear. I would like to
copy this outfit for a spring/summer outfit. It has simple lines, but I
don't know how to begin.
I was certain that I have heard of this kind of thing...

sewing machine. It came threaded of course but when I tied my thread
on to it and attempted to sew, 3 of the threads broke off. The
instruction book is in chinese (no kidding) with a very poor English
translation and even worse...

Lizzie
I've made lined Roman blinds very successfully before, but they were for
upstairs rooms where it didn't matter that you could see the tape from
outside. Now I'm making them for a room which faces out onto the street.
Is there a way of making them with the lining outside of the tape? In...

Pinking Shears by
[email protected]
I have two pair of pinking shears that are probably 40 - 50 years old.
They are Wiss brand and in very good condition. However, they need
sharpened and I do not know where to get that done. Also, I have no

them. Any information...

Presser foot control by
Welmoed Sisson
The Designer 1 by Viking has a two-height presser foot control,
controled by a button on the front panel. Push it once, the presser
foot goes up halfway. Push it again, the presser foot goes up a little
more. Very nice feature. The D1 doesn't have a "traditional" presser
foot lever; you press on...
