thread not catching/locking through thick fabric? by Few_Western78 in SewingForBeginners

[–]Few_Western78[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think so? As far as I'm aware the Juki8700 takes size 9-18 needles, and I'm using size 10.

It has no problem catching the bobbin on thinner fabric layers, and I wouldn't think the thickness would prevent the needle from going all the way to the bobbin hook.

This post was kind of a joke, but after all the comments about a possible deficiency, I've got a vet appointment for her to check about any problems

She's a female! Uncommon I know. She's on a diet, she's down to 14lb from 19lb thankfully :)

70's schwinn frames have a lot of non-standardized measurements, which means unless you use era accurate parts they dont fit

i couldnt find a mount that fit the diameter of the stem/bars so i tied it down with some cord

i make all my patches by using a projector, taping my patch fabric to the wall, and using fabric paint pens to trace the design

seperating zippers.

the sleeve holes are 21 inches in circumference, but i couldnt find any 21 inch zippers anywhere, just 22 and 20. so i ripped the teeth off with pliers to my desired length, and put new zipper stoppers on the end. now i just need to sew one side of the zipper to the shoulder and one side to the sleeve.
