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

>>>>>>>>>>>>off to fiddle

Sorry Merlin, but whenever my sewing machine sews like that I have to call the engineer out. He's brillinat though and always fixes it.

The yoyo fall is one of the bobbin cases, if the thread is normal then it shouldnt need adjusting but a fatter or thinner thread it will need a tiny turn on the screw.

But it does look like the top thread. Is your needle in right up to the limit? 

Try a sample on cotton fabric Merlin, it looks like a wool blend and you need a thread to suit that. Is the material a double thickness? will go and think some more.

[****merlin*****]

keep him in tea for the minute stroppy 

i think its fixed 

loosed off the bottom tension

and changed the top tension (i dont know if the higher the number is tightening or not)

but i moved it up 

and it seems to be working now 

Thank you Maggie 

i was getting frustrated

[****merlin*****]

sorrt Dairy, cross posted with you

the material is actually cotton

it looks thicker in the picture (using daughters really good camera!)

its lightweight cotton

i think its fixed

i shall leave till tomorrow now, its hard sewing black in this light 

[dairyview123]

NO probs, best walk away for half an hour and think it through, make sit worse when you get mad with it!

I made this yesterday. Its a carpet bag.

[cookiecookuk]

my typing was carp

love the bag dairy and my machine does that as well merlin and kicking it does not mend it either.

must check my typing before pushing the post button.

[****merlin*****]

kicking it was next on my list 

i did actually look at buying a new one 

seemed easier than fixing it

[ilove2patch]

The higher the number the tighter the top tension. Glad you fixed it.

[bitsnknots]

All this talk of sewing machines, bobbins and tension has got me confused and it doesn't take much at the best of times.

[ed_blackadder_1]

So glad you have fixed it, I usually swear at it and give it to my mother and she fixes it, whilst tut tutting and mentioning how I could have turned out like I have when all my family can sew. Mmmm whatever.

[dairyview123]

Yes Merlin watched the sewing prog, hope its on every week again but think it was a one off.  I had to do some hand stitching on that bag as it wouldnt go under my machine in the fat parts

[ilove2patch]

Kirsty Allsop on tonight.

[bitsnknots]

Meant to add earlier Dairy, I like the bag.  Well done.

[chickengrandma-2008]

Great bag dairy.  I've been wasting my time making this!!  

Never mind, there's only hubby eats it and he doesn't care what it looks like as long as it tastes ok! 

[ilove2patch]

That looks fabulous!
