Some right bodges there - and I did chuckle at the "bias" binding that wasn't cut on the bias...
-
Unbiased binding? :laughing:

Excellent!! :laughing: :laughing:

And the 'felled seam' which was actually a double hem turned up with double sided sticky tape! Not only was it wonky, the sticky would soon gum up the needle.

What! Are you biased about the bias of bias? :thinking:

I love watching other people machining - I had to teach myself as my mother wouldn't let me near her hand Singer. Silly really, as two heads would have been better than one - she was always getting in a mess.
Someone I knew gave me one when his mother in law died. He came back a few weeks later and asked for it back - they had changed their minds, and wanted to give it to charity. Luckily I hadn't taken it out of the box.

I know we were all beginners once (and I still am in some respects!), but making videos and putting it on t'interweb as though it's correct really doesn't help other people.
-
I liked some of the ideas .. like the bobbins
-
Yes liked some of them too. Obviously, given more time and attention, improvements could be made but it's the idea that counts in this case and some were better than others. After watching this I actually used one of them. I had a lot of unpicking to do and I used an eraser to get rid of the "unpickings" - worked brilliantly!
-
My very favourite Quick unpick basically has an
eraser rubbers on both ends ... clever!
-
Since when did we use the Americanism eraser.....they're rubbers! :D

I will forever be a beginner. There's always new things to learn, techniques to improve, a different type of sewing to try. When the wind blows from the right direction, I hear quilting calling…

@Lowena I did type "rubber" to begin with, but then anticipated misunderstandings from our US contingent - so I changed it for clarity's sake.
-
Hmmm... :thinking: :D

Since when is there a ‘use of English language’ police on The Sewing Place?

Now there's a slippery slope down into the darkside ;)

That's true but it doesn't hurt to be reminded that we are an international community and that some careless comments are disrespectful to other readers
-
There was no disrespect in this case, merely that I knew perfectly well that the word "rubber" means something completely in the US than it does here, so I used an alternative!

Rubber = French Letter. :ninja:

Better not mention the Aussie rubber thong then, very popular here in summer.

In German a Rubber refers to an family planning item used by males....

I used to live next door to a Canadian and we used to often refer to things differently, pavement sidewalk etc. In the end we used to do it deliberately just for fun and also to promote our understanding.
The trouble with texts etc is that we can’t t always see if someone is upset or just smiling and doing what my friend and I did.
One that I didn’t understand for a long time was a trailer, was a caravan to me.
