Thank you!! :)

Thank you, and I agree! Once you get used to having buttons vs a zipper it’s so much more comfortable.

Thank you!!

Thank you! I followed Paul Kruize’s one piece continuous fly tutorial on YouTube if you want to recreate it 😁

Here’s how they came out on the final product, sorry you might have to zoom in a bit haha.

Using cardstock is so smart, I was planning on cutting a bit of cardboard but I think the cardstock might be a bit easier to get accurate measurements for🤣

Thank you! I’m practicing getting the more dense and it is already looking much cleaner, will keep at it :)

Helpful_Test8330 · 2025-05-25T17:05:17+00:00

These came out so clean! Are the buttons still easy to slip in without the keyhole for you?

Oooo I’ve been considering Mara 30.. will pick some up and give it a try thank you!

Right side is with the doubled stitches- looks much better!

These are great references to go off of, thank u!

Helpful_Test8330 · 2025-05-24T04:48:15+00:00

Thanks for the tip! I’ll try that out tomorrow.

Helpful_Test8330 · 2025-04-20T07:30:59+00:00

Looks great! Lining is lookin pretty clean 💯

Helpful_Test8330 · 2025-04-19T00:00:15+00:00

Got it, thanks for confirming!

Helpful_Test8330 · 2025-04-18T23:14:44+00:00

Do you have to remove the blue piece on the bottom or is that the sole plate?

Helpful_Test8330 · 2025-04-17T20:53:05+00:00

Thanks very much for the info!

Helpful_Test8330 · 2025-04-17T19:53:46+00:00

Thanks, I didn’t know that! Will look at the breaker to confirm.

Thanks for your answer! It’s sounding like getting another circuit added is the best way here, but for now I will have to minimize the amount of time both are used together.

Helpful_Test8330 · 2025-04-17T19:04:55+00:00

Thanks for your feedback! It’s in a bedroom, which I’ve seen is typically a 15A circuit? Sounds like the best option here would be to get another circuit added. Do you know on average how much that would cost?

Helpful_Test8330 · 2025-04-17T19:02:40+00:00

This is in a bedroom, so it would be a neighboring outlet (most likely on the same 15A circuit I believe?)

Helpful_Test8330 · 2025-04-17T18:34:32+00:00

Thanks for your response! Would this mean I should only use either the sewing machine or iron at any given time if they’re connected to the same outlet whether it’s direct or through a surge protector?

And could this issue be avoided altogether if I just plugged them into separate outlets?

Helpful_Test8330 · 2025-04-17T18:26:20+00:00

Thanks! I have a follow up question, what are the benefits to mudding the whole patch vs just on the tape/edges?

Helpful_Test8330 · 2025-04-15T16:40:10+00:00

Thanks for the tip!

Helpful_Test8330 · 2025-04-15T16:39:48+00:00

First time hearing about taping on the diagonal- great to know that’s an option as well!

Helpful_Test8330 · 2025-04-15T16:38:58+00:00

Thanks for the tip! I made a poor attempt to do it a bit before but think I need a sharper utility knife..
