THE FHG SEWING THREAD :-D

[ilove2patch]

As requested, a place for us to ask for help and advice from other stitchers and to show the things we make.
Over to you.:-D

I use whatever's in the machine.;\

I would probably get on a lot better if I did it right and used the right equipment.:|

[huggles1253]

Oooh thank you for all the answers! 😄 :-x I hadn't thought of making a skirt with an elasticated waist! Oh, Oh, Oh excited now!

[ilove2patch]

What make is your machine Huggles?

RDW you have a message.:-)

[huggles1253]

It's a Toyota. Is that OK? 😐 Friend coming round at 7.00! I hope she can sort it out.

[ilove2patch]

Yes Toyotas are fine! lol Just curious.:-)

[huggles1253]

It's a 2000 series with two knobs. I know this because I saw there were different ones on Youtube this afternoon. Some have 3 knobs but I'm happy with 2. 🙂 Some only have one knob! 😮

Two other things huggles - you can make a dress the same way - I do cap sleeves.

Also, how old is your machine - is is metal - does it 'come apart' easily for oiling?  Or is it welded plastic like the newbie ones?

[ilove2patch]

Ah but the modern ones aren't supposed to need oiling! 😉

[huggles1253]

It's about ten years old I think. I bought it on a whim! It's plastic....but it came with oil.

Why is Huggles talking about " knobs " 😮

I thought she was talking sewing machines 😛

waves to RDW 😄

& wonders how Twishy's head is now :8}

[rainydaywoman11]

Now Maggie, I would not dream of questioning your expertise, I promise you that, but I just don't 'get' that theory.

Do you remember a few months ago I asked your advice on a JL machine I had, which just thundered to a halt.Made a noise like a 747 taking off.

Wel, thinking I  had nothing to lose, l I got my electric hacksaw (and a wee hand one for the fiddly bits) - took pics on my camera as I went along so I could put it back together again - oiled the 'moving' parts I could see.  Put it back together again (used glue gun and held in place wih duct tape, eventually removed when glue dried).  Goes like new.  I was ready to bin it.

**waves back to ck**  -  what wondrous creation are you making for MDCC?

Is you house still bulging with the young folks?

[ilove2patch]

I expect Twishy went back to bed!

Its bulging intermitently ..... she's been for an interview here today so it may be bulging permanently much sooner than we expected 😐

we had to go  wallpaper & bed browsing today 😮

I'm missing having "me" time though ......... I like my alone time  😞

Only a "small" offering this month for mdcc but there will be two of them :-x

[huggles1253]

IT'S WORKING! As I thought I just threaded it up wrong! So I'm off to sew! See you later! Will probably be back in ten minutes for advice!:-) happy huggles!

[ilove2patch]

Ahem! Who said it was a thread problem! 😛 ]:)

[cat-knitter]

parcels curtain material up & sends it to Huggles 😄

only so she can carry on "playing" of course 😉

[rainydaywoman11]

*ck* I got a great bed on here for son's flat - his was cheapo (2 of his chums went and bought the same one), but they did have much better ones.  Delivered on time, very obliging, I was well chuffed with them.
