Why do you turn the canvas when doing needlepoint?
You turn any canvas while doing any embroidery to avoid building tension in any single direction. If you have your work oriented in a single direction, it will curl up perpendicular to the direction you have had your work oriented. Frequent small turns will avoid curling and help you create a much more satisfactory result.
While these were going for $400 to $500 a couple of years ago, they are now more likely to be found in the $200 to $300 range. A mint example with almost no wear will still command a better price. A good one will have an excellent case, all the original accessories (bobbins, etc.) a foot control, and books and paperwork.
How do you sew sheer goods on a sewing machine?
Sheer material can be very hard to sew on a sewing machine. Loosen the tension on the machine (you will need to play around with it a bit to find what works best), use a fine ('skinny') needle (size 11-12), use lots of pins to keep the fabric from shifting, and be sure to hold the fabric very taught around the needle to keep it from shrinking up and getting caught in the needle case or bobbin. If it is still difficult, try pinning newspaper in with the fabric, then rip the paper out after you are done sewing. the paper helps keep the fabric in place.
Does the bobbin go in clockwise or anticlockwis-sewing machine?
It depends on the sewing machine. They often have little arrows on the bit the bobbin goes in to help. Try looking at your manual or if all else fails, try it each way and see what works!
How do you refold a sewing pattern?
Try to follow the original folds. If you find that you can't do that, then do the best you can to get it back into the envelope.
As you make the folds to fit in the envelope, press them gently with a steam iron. They fit nicely back in the envelope with no damage.
What are the best Joann fabrics coupons?
JoAnn sends out a variety of coupons; the most valuable in terms of money saved are the 50% off one cut of fabric, although these are generally only sent out once or twice a year. There may be a coupon sale around President's Day, so I would keep an eye out for the sales flyer in your local newspaper. Alternatively, you can sign up for the JoAnn's mailer list and get the coupons mailed directly to your house just before the sale starts.
