It is Friday and I am on holiday!!!!!!!!
I spent time last night setting up coverstitch machine to hem my dress and to get the settings right so the hemming will not have tunneling. I am still learning this machine. I really do like it. Hems are pinned in place for sleeves and skirt hem so will finish that up today and it will be complete.
I then need to rethread serger and sewing machine to start on the Butterick dress. I also plan to take time to cut out two skirt patterns this long weekend so I can get going on two skirts I want to make. One is TNT and the other is one I have been wanting to make for some time now.
Off to fix my coffee and catch up on reading blogs.

Have a great sewing weekend.
ReplyDeleteA trick that helps me with hems on my janome Coverpro is to set up sewing machine with washaway thread in bobbin and regular thread on the top. Then I sew the hem with right side facing the machine bed (the washaway is then sews on the right side). Then I take to the coverstitch machine and I have a guide to use to sew the coverhem. Simply then wash the garment or spritz the washaway thread and I have a nice hem that encloses the raw edge of the hem.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a fun filled sewing weekend.
I envy your efficiency! Have a wonderful sewing weekend!
