What is the purpose of a bobbin in a sewing machine?

A bobbin winder is the part of a sewing machine that takes the thread from a spool of thread and winds it on the bobbin. The sewing machine bobbin is a mini-spool of thread, made of plastic or metal, that holds the thread that will be on the underneath portion of your fabric when you sew.

The top thread comes from the spool of thread and the thread on the bottom side of your fabric comes from the bobbin. Instead of winding the thread on the bobbin by hand, long and tedious, the machine will wind it for you if you load it up correctly. Check your owner's manual for instructions. If you don't have a manual, do a google search for it by entering the name of your machine branch and the model # and it will probably find one. Also, any experienced sewer can show you how.

Do skinny jeans make everyone look skinnier?

Skinny jeans are the most popular trend at the moment. I personally LOVE them, but they may not fit EVERYONE'S needs. For example, I'm a little skinny and to be honest, I had to wash and sew a few of my pairs of jeans. They also are sometimes hard to move in if they're too tight. Wear what feels most comfortable and what YOU feel looks good. You CAN keep up with trends, but add your own personal style. For example, you could bedazzle them- I don't know. If you like skinny jeans and feel they look good on you, then sure they're the best. But remember, trends CHANGE. So if you're only concerned about keeping up with trends, bear in mind that they might not be in style a year later. If you're not concerned with trends, don't worry about it and wear what YOU want to wear! -Rachel

How do you dart in sewing?

Fold a piece of fabric in half. On the fold, make a mark about 4 inches down, or however far you want your dart to be. Begin sewing from the top, about 1 inch away from the fold, and sew straight toward your mark (you will be sewing diagonally). Don't back-stitch at the tip of the dart, or the fabric may not lay properly. Usually, if you are following a pattern, this process is explained in the instructions.

Darts are commonly used in blouses, skirts, and jackets.

What were black straight sewing pins used for in the late 1800's to early1900's?

Not sure if there were any additional uses, but I do know of one such use for a black washed straight pin. I found a box of them in an antique store marked mourning pins. The cost of them prevented me from buying them. In the 19th century when one was in the deepest stage of mourning the person was expected to dress in black. Silver pins would reflect the light. Black washed pins were used to attach veils and mourning ribbons without reflection. In other ways if one was wearing a deep colored bonnet or dress and needed a pin, black was able to blend in better than brass or steel. Hope this helped.
