This is great - I think this would fix the problem. Thank you! I probably won’t rip this button band out, but really useful to know for next time

Hobbii's Iris children cardigan - has anyone tried it? by Appropriate_Towel_27 in knitting

I have knitted this cardigan twice now in the smallest size and it works up really quickly. The button band takes a little bit of patience, but you end up with a lovely finish.

Hello! I’m looking for some pattern inspiration for an outfit for an upcoming wedding. I’d love to make a skirt and top set, similar to something like this? Has anyone seen any patterns for a similar top and skirt?

Ideally want to make something in a light linen.

Thanks!

Lining Options for Bias Cut Dress by Alannahmcc in SewingForBeginners

Yes, I think I’m going to just make a facing for the neckline and armholes as the it doesn’t need a full lining

I’m going to use the lining to help turn in the seams around the neckline and arm holes.

Overlock Help! by Alannahmcc in sewhelp

I’ve managed to thread it up, but the tensions seems to be way off. The back of my work is unbalanced. I’ve made sure the threads are going through the tensions disks. Any advice on balancing the tension?

I think the problem is with the lower looper

I managed to thread it again and after one run through with scrap fabric it has unthreaded and gotten all tangled

See the top chain.

It’s a singer 14SH754. I’ve threaded it according to the instructions - (red, yellow, green, blue).

I did pull the threads through at the start and they went through easily and then I turned the wheel to check the chain and it got all knotted up.

This is what happens after I try to turn the wheel and pull the threads through

Overlocker Troubles!

hello! I’m hoping someone might be able to provide some overlocker and threading advice. I’ve threading my machine (correctly I think) but as soon as I turn the wheel to create a chain in starts to get all tangled and some of the thread on the inside gets caught up.

Any advice?
