Technical Help / Finding the right zip
« on: February 22, 2024, 16:41:09 PM »
Help needed please. My daughter has asked me to replace a zip in a cycling top. This is an open zip fitted to the inner mesh liner and feels very light weight so it doesn’t distort the mesh which has a slight stretch.
I have been looking online but am finding it hard to judge the weight of the zips shown.
Any advice/ suggestions gratefully received.

The Haberdashery / William Whitley scissors
« on: July 11, 2022, 19:47:54 PM »
OH is offering to buy me some scissors as a birthday present, and I am considering a pair of shears for cutting my fabric, I am more likely to try to make clothing or simple homeware than quilting.
I have a pair of Fiskars standard scissors but like the idea of shears. Oh, I have some arthritis in my cutting hand too.
Has anyone experience of buying from/using scissors from William Whiteley please?
Thank you
Ruth

Sewing Machines / Pfaff Select 3.00 advice please
« on: May 31, 2021, 10:32:14 AM »
I have the opportunity to obtain this machine. It was purchased new in 2009 and has not been used for a few years. It’s had one owner and as used for a few years for FMQ. I’m told it is working.
I’ve been looking for a mechanical Pfaff with IDT for a few years and have a Pfaff dealer nearby where I can take it for a service.
I am dressmaking rather than quilting so I think the size should be OK.
Does anyone have any thoughts as to whether it might be a good machine?
Thanks in advance.
