Posted In Thread: “Tips for cutting out chiffon, please!”
1 week agoHi all 😃
Does anyone have any thoughts on cutting chiffon, please? I have to work with it every so often and I always cut it out in a single layer, never the two on top of each other but somehow the pieces still up end slightly skewed 😱

Posted In Thread: “Make Nine 2025”
1 week agoI'd love to do a make 9 for 2025, especially as I've only been sewing for 18 months and making my own clothes for the past 12 months! I want to build up to sew a coat -basically to make a lighter weight copy of a RTW one I already have (the company that I bought it from has recently gone out of business)
Posted In Thread: “Overlocker vs Coverstitch?”
1 week agoHi Yolanda, I bought a Janome 2000 cover stitch and hardly use it, it skips stitches too. On the other hand I bought a cheap overlocker a few years ago in case I didn't get on with it, use it all the time and bought a baby lock victory earlier this year. Absolutely fantastic highly recommend, you'll never look back, especially if you like sewing/wearing stretch fabrics, sweatshirt/dresses don't go near the sewing machine. Happy shopping for one. X
