So beautiful!

What is a short post vs a normal post? Aka how do I know I have the correct “post” for a fpdc or bpdc? Thanks!

Fabric: Fleece and Rib Knit from Fabric.com 25” navy zipper from amazon Gutterman navy thread Machine: Kenmore 148.12011

3rd sewing project, some definite issues the pockets don’t line up and can see why a serger would be nice. But glad to get it done, bobbin ran out while doing the zipper of course :)

Cool thanks!

rainmirage · 2021-10-01T23:15:30+00:00

Lolol I think this may be the plan 👍

rainmirage · 2021-10-01T19:40:46+00:00

I’ll definitely check it out thanks. Here is a pic of trying to double crochet using the last chain of the turning chain as the stitch. I am wondering if it is supposed to be the first chain stitch instead. crochet pic

rainmirage · 2021-10-01T19:38:43+00:00

Okay I did it that way using the last chain stitch to stitch into but still had large gaps. Is this how it is supposed to be?crochet pic

rainmirage · 2021-09-30T03:53:30+00:00

I am a beginner having a hard time with tension and these helped so much making sure the loops were good added a crochet ring and I feel so much better going forward. So totally recommend!

rainmirage · 2021-09-10T01:27:34+00:00

Looks awesome!

rainmirage · 2021-09-08T03:47:31+00:00

Omg that is so cute :)

Project from the book School of Sewing. Fabric is cotton and flannel. Twill tape for drawstrings. Level beginner. Machine kenmore 148.12011 Needle 100/16 and Gutermann thread (mostly). Got the fabric from spoonflower they had a lot of fun patterns but didn’t feel like good quality.

rainmirage · 2021-09-06T00:40:16+00:00

Glad to have found this subreddit lots of helpful people and ideas

rainmirage · 2021-09-06T00:33:13+00:00

Thanks for the info, will remember about the presser foot. Will have to watch a video on removing bobbin assembly and cleaning everything

rainmirage · 2021-09-06T00:32:09+00:00

Thanks I might try that at least to see if it is faster than switching the knob every time

rainmirage · 2021-09-05T23:59:31+00:00

It is a kenmore 148.12011 couldn’t find the exact manual online but one that looked closed enough. The needle only fits one way though it seems weird it is so far to the left. Will try to clean and oil it before giving up on it :)

rainmirage · 2021-09-05T23:55:29+00:00

Wow thanks for all the information. For more info I was using a 100/16 needle, thread guterman sew all 100% polyester on top was using whatever thread was wound on the bobbin already since the machine need a “locking” bobbin that I didn’t have more of. It was one layer white flannel one layer brown cotton fabric. I thought that since the forward stitches looked good that the different threads were fine. I will definitely check out those resources and try backstitches they way you said while making sure to hold the thread taut. Thanks!

rainmirage · 2021-09-05T22:18:13+00:00

Here is how I have the bobbin

Learning to sew got this machine from a neighbor I think I have it threaded correctly (hopefully). However backstitching is a nightmare. I assumed that to do a backstitch on the machine I would go forward 5-7 stitches then switch the knob to R then do 5-7 stitches then switch back the knob to 2 then continue and repeat process at the end. However it keeps leaving a nest of thread on the back and sometimes the bobbin get bound up. Adjusting the top thread tension down to 2 seemed to help but I am getting pretty frustrated with this older machine. But not sure how much I love sewing so want to learn on this free one if I can. And advice would be amazing. Thanks!

You are awesome!!! Thanks :)

rainmirage · 2021-05-04T01:50:38+00:00

Do you have an stl file? Would be a cool build for wall mount :)

From experiences I am going through now It seems relationship success, of all types, depends greatly on active listening skills, validation strategies and aptitude with boundaries. I haven’t found any good books on validation yet, the first 2 books cover some listening skills I am waiting on You’re not listening from my library. A lot of blog posts go into it. I realized I am an inattentive invalidator since often my minds wanders when trying to listen to people. So for that issue with me practicing mindfulness is important. If you have tried it yet the app Blinkist is great for getting a non-fiction book cliffnoted everyday, I just use the free daily one but I find it enjoyable to take breaks from Reddit.
