Today's progress - and the pattern matching has gone quite well, shame that the collar didn't quite work right though - it still needs seam allowances trimming, pressing, some top/edge stitching, buttonholes, and hemming yet. I was having trouble with my machine (the old Elna) in that it kept making a nest of thread under the fabric and then getting stuck. The first time I re-threaded the bobbin, and then the top thread and it was ok. It did it again a bit later, so I took the bobbin out and gave it a bit of a clean, put the bobbin back in, and no better. I then thought to actually look at the upper thread and realised it had come out of the take up lever/arm thingy, so a big sigh of relief that it wasn't going horribly wrong!
