Twin Needles

I had skipped stitches when I was using a universal needle that came with the machine on stretch fabric. Got a jersey one and that worked, however my machine manual said only use the 2.5 width needles.

Advice Needed- Grading Sizes

Thimble_Amy · 1 week ago Plus Member

Thank you Glenda & Hayley i think i stared at it for 20 mins, i thought it would work but couldn't get my head around the line going in the opposite direction. but it does make sense. Also, makes sense to lengthen first too. still new in this...

Advice Needed- Grading Sizes

Glenda H · 1 week ago Community Member

Lengthen first and grade afterwards would be my advice. When you have graded the front and back put the two pattern pieces together to make sure they follow the same line. Just adapt any inconsistencies to make a smooth line.

Advice Needed- Grading Sizes

SewHayleyJane · 1 week ago Admin

Hi Amy, You would do exactly the same on the back - draw a line connecting the size 12 at the bust to a 14 at the waist - it will still be going inwards as you're only blending between the two sizes so won't alter the shape. Personally I would...

Another idea to stop the zip shifting is to use 1/4" quilters tape. That is sticky both sides so you can place your zip and rearrange so it is correct. The tape washes out.

Scissors. Mostly because my rotary cutting mat is much smaller than my cutting table. I'd have to most and readjust a lot to use it. When I do redo the cutting table I may cover it with a rotary cutting mat.

It isn't such an issue now Hayley, (s central heating became more common) but it's the kind of legislation that it's hard to repeal, as it causes more bother than it's worth.
