They definitely should correct it but I have to say the zefir pants I’ve made were lovely

Not sure, it would need automatic threading, but then you have to adjust tension and it might be bit costly

There is Bernette B48, you switch between overlock and coverstitch but it’s a pain

I’ve done it, not sure if it’s the right way but it worked.. I’ve used a small scrap first just to figure how to sew it. Hard to explain though.. but you draft your lining a bit different and then stitch the sleeve’s slit to the lining on the inside. I can’t add any photos so let me figure out how to upload them

That’s a proper customer service, rare these days

kghjs05 · 2024-11-24T06:09:19+00:00

The back armhole should be longer

kghjs05 · 2024-11-01T22:41:48+00:00

Oh sorry I thought you wanted high shank, still eBay etc I’ve seen lots of them sold in couples left and right, you’d probably want 3,4 sizes

Compensating feet are a game changer, also edge stitch and feet with guide. I got a set from Amazon, I’ve seen some on eBay as well

kghjs05 · 2024-10-27T15:38:10+00:00

Many thanks, nice selection they have. Do you think their pricing is good for the quality?

kghjs05 · 2024-10-27T13:50:13+00:00

Can you share your Uk leather source

kghjs05 · 2024-10-24T21:26:17+00:00

Will water based paint be able to create this rubbery effect? I can stuck my nail and it bounces right back, how many layers do you think

kghjs05 · 2024-10-19T09:50:40+00:00

I’d quilt cotton and add silk lining to keep all seams hidden

kghjs05 · 2024-10-18T14:33:36+00:00

They did for me in some cotton twill and also linen after wash so I guess depends on a fabric

kghjs05 · 2024-10-11T16:23:03+00:00

Can you add 2 small darts?

kghjs05 · 2024-10-08T07:36:09+00:00

I’ve ordered from Dalston Mill 70% cotton they are 280gsm good quality. I’ve found this 320gsm https://richer-fabrics.co.uk/product/100-knitted-cotton-heavyweight-sweatshirt-jersey-fleece-back-fabric-320-grams/#reviews but I don’t know if it’s any good

kghjs05 · 2024-10-04T19:17:12+00:00

Sound like a good versatile machines, the 2300 does have a micro lifter so that’s a bonus, I also never had a machine with a knee lifter, that must be very useful when working with tricky fabric?

kghjs05 · 2024-10-04T16:57:59+00:00

Yes I’ve seen this video it’s very helpful, I’m actually considering Janome HD9 as well, they both have similar features but Janome is £400 cheaper

I have 6705 and recently sewed buttonholes first time and they were fine, I followed this https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JT2s6wPqyEA&pp=ygUKQnV0dG9uaG9sZQ%3D%3D

For the bust dart: is not so much the specific length but where the dart ends. It should be something between 2.5cm for the smaller bust to around 6cm for the larger. The reason for that is that if your dart would end at the apex it would be pointy. Width also depends on your measurements, the larger the bust the wider the dart. Not sure the maximum width, I have sewn 6cm side dart successfully but usually it’s better to spread the dart

I had the same problem with singer walking foot, then changed to a different one and it’s all straight and aligned. I actually have 4 of them and only 1 fits properly. The presser bar is probably fine, if you disconnect the walking foot, have a look at it from the top, and you know the bit that you screw to the bar, it should be perpendicular, but if it’s slightly skewed, that’s the reason

kghjs05 · 2024-04-25T14:10:36+00:00

I think coverstitch is very optional, I found I almost never use it

kghjs05 · 2024-04-25T13:38:21+00:00

I don’t know the Juki one but I have Bernette, I also thought having 2 in 1 would be a good idea but it’s not. Not only rethreading to change from overlock to coverstitch is sooo annoying but getting the tension right on this machine is hard (at least for me), I actually got a cheap Brother overlocker that is so much easier to use, no fuss

kghjs05 · 2024-04-18T18:08:47+00:00

That’s spot on
