Sewing Machines / Janome Excel II 5024 stitch length problem
« on: August 21, 2022, 04:58:06 AM »
The stitch length slider on my (fairly old ) Janome sewing machine has become very stiff. The machine is sewing okay but I cannot change the stitch length because the slider won't move without some force. I think it has been gradually getting worse but today it will hardly move and I don't won't damage it.

Our local, very expensive sewing machine sales and  repair shop has closed recently so I was hoping for some advice on what the issue might be and whether there is anything I can do to fix it myself.

Current Projects / Baby Play Mat
« on: January 11, 2020, 04:53:08 AM »
I am planning to make a simple baby play mat for a new baby in the family but I need some advice about what sort of wadding to use. I am not very familiar with the different types of wadding available but it would probably need to be something that stands up to frequent washing. For anyone in Australia I will most likely be shopping at Spotlight but can go to a specialty quilting shop if Spotlight has nothing suitable. All suggestions appreciated as it is the first time I have attempted to make something like this !

I'm PollyWally from TSF, an infrequent poster and also infrequent sewist. Lots of ideas but very good at procrastination. I've been enjoying the new forum but forgot to introduce myself. Thanks to everyone who made this happen.
