Overlockers & Coverstitchers / Silly question
« on: March 09, 2018, 19:24:44 PM »
I am still pondering on buying a coverstitch machine and just wondered, do you use yours to hem only stretch fabrics or are they more versatile.
What do you use yours for?

Overlockers & Coverstitchers / Re: Upgrading ..
« on: February 26, 2018, 18:42:25 PM »
I’m thinking of upgrading my Janome 1000 coverstitch machine... what would folks recommend
Will you be selling your Janome or part exchanging? I don't have a coverstitch but keep checking eBay for a second hand machine. I may be interested in buying it.

Glad I am not alone UttaRerch, I only ever try on when it's just about finished, although most things I have made fit ok its just that I look a b***** in some so they never see the light of day. (really must stop buying Marcy Tilton patterns they do nothing for me).

Urban threads have a design that uses Madeira Burmilana thread. Has anyone come across this? The Madeira shop seems to be trade only and all my searches just keep taking me back to the Madeira website.

I have only used the website once for fabric and it took about 3 weeks to arrive. I swore never again.

I ordered some bi fold elastic that arrived today and there was a free Burda  pattern for windshirts in the envelope.

I have been to Fabworks today and bought some Quilted Roses jersey in a silver grey, they have it in black on their website. Did you know that they don't always have the fabric in the shop that is on the website, the stuff in the shop tends to be one off roles and the website is were they sell the bulk stuff they get in.
I really went for lining for a jacket I am making but ended up with the Jersey some Paul Smith shirting and some purple check wool coating that had been reduced, it would have been rude not to. (Like I really need another coat/jacket)

I saw this & I thought you may be interested! / Re: Millerain waxed cotton

I keep looking at the Kelly (as mentioned else were) but seems expensive for what it is. There are a couple of very similar patterns on the Lekala site and Pennine Outdoors have there own  pattern which is only £3

I was also considering Vogue 9230 but take the gathers out and line it or Kwik sew 4015, then again I have a vintage Vogue jacket that is very nice  -< -< At this rate it will be next winter before I make my mind up.
