Sewing

1 - The speed of production. Although it takes time to design the embroidery and digitize it, ultimately if you have a large run of embroidery to do it is a lot quicker 2 - Accuracy. If you have a really detailed design you need reproduced accurately, with a computerized machine it will reproduce it perfectly everytime, whereas by hand each one will naturally differ. Unless of course you are designing for a less commercial market where you want each piece to differ slightly to give a more bespoke feel.

If the table is 36" round, I'm assuming you are talking about diameter. I would simply get the same length as the width of the fabric you want to use. Then the drape will be the same....

I looked and it depends on the model name, and in some cases the serial number. What condition it is in is very important.

Most of the time, it is threaded wrong or the bobbin is in backwards. The best bet is to rethread from the spool and also check to see how the bobbin is put back in it's case. Check the manual that came with the machine. If you don't have the manual you can find it probably online. Also, check that the needle is inserted correctly and also that it is in all the way. Clean out the bobbin area and be sure the thread is not getting stuck on the spool as it is coming off. Sometimes there is a burr on the spool and it catches as it is going into the machine.

Embroidery, and crewel, use coloured treads, yarns and ribbons to decorate fabric. Quilting and aplique use coloured fabrics and stitchery to create decorated fabric pieces. Dye and paint can be used to create designs, pictures or solid colour treatments to decorate fabric. Beading works well to add subtle decorations while studding and be-jewling are flashier.

It really depends on where you are and how easily they are to get in the area you live. If you buy at auction you can still get them for between $25.00 and $100.00 where I live in Pennsylvania, USA. In an antique shop you'll pay between $150.00 and about $250.00 depending on the cabinet wood condition and how elaborate the woodwork is and if the machine condition still retaines the original decals and emblems. The closer to the machine and cabinet is to original condition (not striped and repainted) will add to the value.

The Brother CS6000i Computerized Sewing Machine would be the best sewing machine for a beginner. This machine gets 5 stars on amazon and has had several positive reviews. This sewing machine is very easy to use and the manual is easy to read. It is computerized, automatic, and has a light for the best viewing.

It depends on the condition of the machine, the serial number, and the brand.

A good rule of thumb: If it looks anything like what you've sewn with (or your mom or grandmother), or it has a serial number with 6 or more numbers, it is likely of very little value to sewing machine collectors.

Any early sewing machine by any maker with a serial # of 5,000 or less is worth more. Lower serial numbers by lesser-known brands are even more valuable. For example, there is a Bradbury Limited 1879 sewing machine with a low serial number on eBay right now for $5,000. There is also a vintage Singer 11-20 for sale for $3,500.

So, take a look at your sewing machine's brand and serial number, and check eBay to see if there is something comparable. You may also want to consult an antique dealer after finding this information.

a great lil tutorial i found...

Im not 100% sure but my manual was printed in 1980

Technically, thread count means the number of threads woven together in a square inch. You count both lengthwise (warp) and widthwise (weft) threads. So 100 lengthwise threads woven with 100 widthwise threads produce a thread count of 200.Â_

I believe it was manufactured around the 80s which is relatively old but could potentially be a very good sewing machine if operated properly and tuned-up. Because it is older, I would estimate it costing at around $40-$60 ($60 being in VERY good working,fully functioning condition)

Hi i to have been asking myself this question. A trip to my local Library sadly did not help. So i began to search on line. i have found a couple of tutorials that may help you. I have also decided that buying one or two and taking them apart may help. Don't know!!!! If anyone else has any suggestions that would be great Here are the things i have found so far Meerkat Clippings: How to make a fascinator Corvus tristis - Positively Fascinating Ascot School of Millinery- How to make your own Fascinators

The easiest thing to use to attach two pieces of cloth together is a pin.

Fabric manipulation is when you simply create shapes patterns out of fabric, this often makes the fabric more 3D like, not flat.

Embroidery cards are computer accessories with embroidery designs contained on them. Modern sewing machines can connect to computers, allowing them to read the embroidery card and automatically produce embroidery that matches the card.

I bought one of these the year before I got married. It was 1993, probably before November, because I wasn't engaged yet and that happened in November of 1993. I know this doesn't tell you when it was made, but it might give you a rough idea. Hope it helps.

Its worth anywhere from 50-100 depending on condition. Take that with a grain of salt though for Im not officially any kind of antiques person. I paid 85$ for mine today, it was almost in prime condition.

If you have a little patience you can find anything at all on craig's list and clicking on your area will get you to posts selling ones near by. Of course there is ebay but theres the shipping costs and the inability to see it before you buy. I see kenmore sewing machines for sale all the time on both. Sewing machines seem to be a item that folks buy and then don't use much so most are in good shape. You can also try your local sew and vac stores. They have used reconditioned machines that are reasonably priced and are usually guaranteed to be in good shape with a return policy to protect from getting a lemon.

The easiest way is to turn the duvet cover inside out. Place the closed end of the duvet cover against one end of the duvet and grab the two corners of the duvet and shake or pull the duvet cover down over the duvet.
