I’ve washed and dried some fabric and have cut out another Isla top. No actual sewing done as I need some matching thread. Tomorrow morning I’ll pop to hobbycraft for a browse for some thread. Will complete it tomorrow.

@Bill I see what you mean, extortionate prices  :faints: You could always put a post up on FB to see if anybody has one they would be willing to part with.

I frequently use the twin needle on both of my sewing machines and have been pleased with the results. My overlocker i've had for quite a few years and it stitches perfectly every time. I think if i'm going to be making clothes on a regular basis then i would consider investing in one as i really like the finish that the coverstitch gives.

@Diane A coverstitch machine sews two or three rows of straight stitch on the top and a kinda overlock stitch underneath.

Thanks Bodge  :) I don't have one  :embarrassed: but wouldn't mind one

I then put that seam through the overlocker.
I finish hems with a coverhem machine



@SewRuthieSews What's the difference between an overlocker and a coverstitch machine? When would you use a coverstitch machine/is it just for hems?

I’ve also had issues posting from my Chromebook, I’ve done all the usual cleanup stuff. When I press post, it just spins round and round and then comes up with an error code (I’ll post that later on as I’m just off to work). All other websites work, just TSP I’m having issues with.

@Mr Twingo I'm getting the same error code as @Ouryve

Request Timeout
Server timeout waiting for the HTTP request from the client.

Additionally, a 408 Request Timeout error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
