Hi everyone! I got the Vario Creative Tool for Christmas and am honestly a little stumped as to how to use it. I punched some holes for rivets in jeans today, which was simple enough, but do I have to get more attachments to do other things? Any tips??

I have a singer differential feed overlocker, had it for 25 years. Would like to upgrade but so many on market I wouldn't know where to start.

I tend to batch cut several projects (usually at the beginning of the month),  then I have something ready to sew.

Hi Everyone. Can anyone recommend a sewing magazine subscription? I have seen Love Sewing magazine and Simply Sewing but not sure which one would be best value for money relating to the content? Or are there any others I'm not aware of which may be worth considering? 🤔

Hello All


I'm Theresa, and I live in West Yorkshire.  I used to see as a child (even had a plastic workable machine).  Fast forward 40 years, my grandson was born last year, and I picked up sewing in September again.  I have found such a passion for sewing garments.  My next goal is to learn how to grade and alter patterns to ensure a good fit.
