![]() ![]() After whizzing through the binding on the Janome 6300 with the walking foot, all is done! I have shipped them, and hope they get there in time to keep two little guys warm for the rest of this winter and early Spring! The odd thing is that the J6300 doesn't have any problems with thread at all when sewing regular things, but only when doing FMQ.Īfter experimenting with other threads and other measures in order to come to a FMQ nirvana, I have found that Bottom Line top and bottom, and putting the feed dogs in the up position, and setting the stitch length to 0.0 improves the FM greatly. ![]() Other folks disagree with her surmise that the modern machines are set to work interdependently tension-feed-dogs-stitching but I think she is on to something. In fact, I also skipped putting the thread through the last thread guide - that one right at the needle bar itself - the thread tends to get caught there as it goes through. I am still experimenting though, and will try some So Fine #50 next time - probably tomorrow. Hello, I am cheating again by doubling up my pattern review here and on PR, but you get the bonus of extra photos here. Meanwhile I am designing a quilted coffee table runner that will use the leftovers from my Flying Geese quilt and be sort of definitely scrappy. This is one of the Take 1 Make 4 skirts from the September 2009 Burda. The middle seam will not be a perfect pointy geese thing at all because I am combining two pieces I cut off that quilt because it was too long. Its one place to search, browse and organize all your work, regardless of what app it lives in. Very unorthodox, but then I will have sashing on it and hopefully the same binding as the larger quilt or the binding I put on the Boy Quilts. Slapdash is a re-think of how we interface with our cloud apps. I have lots of leftover binding.Īlso in the works are two pair of pants. I need to use up some fabric here to make room for quilting stuff, and I have two pieces of really nice beige-to tan bottom weight material here. Please enable JavaScript if you would like to comment on this blog.I am going to do a tracing of my favorite elastic waist pants and use that pattern. Hope these are useful to someone! The shirt I made today is super cute, went together really quickly, and was just the easy project I wanted :) I'll take pictures of it (and all my other projects) this week! I have another away job in upstate New York starting next week! Tutorial isn't as comprehensive, but it gives you a basic idea for the different bodice types, very useful! -> here ![]() Over at the Slapdash Sewist, she had an old post on various methods of SBA on just about every pattern bodice type! Especially useful for wrap dresses, which aren't really covered on other pages. I don't know what the difference is though? Maybe because it is a split front? Also good to note that the deer and doe pattern is also drafted for C cup -> here This one has a slash going up to the shoulder seam and one to the front. Here is another slash and pivot method over at Paunnet for a deer and doe pattern. Hungry Zombie Couture has a nice tutorial on the same method, if you like to look at various ones -> here Moonbeam has a great tutorial for the slash and pivot method for patterns with waist and bust darts -> hereĪnd she also has a great tutorial on slash and pivot for a pattern that doesn't have any darts -> here I just can't bring myself to 1)use that much fabric, and 2) sew something twice. I didn't end up using any of the tutorials because I just decided to leave out the dart and wanted a flowy, unfitted shirt, but these would be useful for other patterns! Ideally, figured out on a muslin of your bodice.if I ever did a muslin. Small bust adjustments ( SBA) in sewing seems to be not as used as full bust adjustments (judging by the amount of tutorials out there), but I found a few links that I would share! I very rarely do more than grade between a smaller and larger size for the major pattern companies, but when I decided to sew up Collete's Sorbetto top, drafted for a C cup, I thought it would be a good time to look into it. ![]()
