My friend told me that I should ensure my machine could sew triple layers on the corners. I kind of understand, as there are two layers usually and then I imagine three pieces come together in a corner. I'm thinking with that kind of work, a stronger machine may be warranted. Where to begin...?
You can usually get the machine to handle a thick piece by slowly hand walking it through, using the wheel rather than the foot pedal.
Hello, does anyone know anything about dyeing a wedding dress? I live in the Atlanta area. I'd like to dye it very light blue for a girl for her sweek 16. It's mostly made of tulle. I posted this question originally in the Atlanta forum.
I will see if I can get the photos uploaded tomorrow. I actually had a leather one made by someone and it is backwards and some of the under stitches have come out and I have not even used it. When I put the cards in it the stitching came out. Thank goodness I did not pay much to have it done.
I was just poking around in my photos to see if I had a pic of the wallet I made. No soap. Probably just as well, since the fabrics she chose for the wallet were kinda ugly. But I did find a pic of the notion bags I did for her at the same time.

It's probably synthetic, and I have no idea what to do with that. I've only died cotton.
I have:
1900s Treadle- needs the belt tightened
1950s Imperial (was my grandmas)-not sure whats wrong with it
1960s Necchi- the motor is going i think
newer Singer-needs power cord
I was just asked to sew a zipper on a friends pants...so that should be interesting with no machine!

I dyed my petticoat pink using RIT dye. I just followed instructions. I dyed it in the bathtub.
