Well, well, well...I have been having bad luck with my sewing machine lately. First my walking foot - which helps me quilt straight lines with out the fabric bunching up and completely irritating me - broke. So, I ordered another one on EBay. While I was there I saw a few other fancy feet :) and order one more -a foot that does rolled hems for you. Which meant to me - time saver - less ironing - yeah!! So I bought it, got it out of the mail today and was super excited to try it. I had read mixed reviews about it being hard to use, stitches not straight, blah, blah, blah. So, of course I had to try it, knowing that I could figure it out. (Haha) So tried it, surprisingly got the hang of it pretty quickly, but the stitches weren't right. Seemed like the tension was off. Adjusted - no help, adjusted the other way - no help. Could it be the foot?? Switched back to my quilting foot - same problem! It is my machine!! Ugh!! Did I mention I also recently bought a Tiny Serger on eBay thinking I could use it to make skirts for my daughter, and maybe some to sell. Oh yeah, the machine I already have does an overlocking stitch. Found this out today as I was reading the manual to find out why my stitches has suddenly become catywompus - (my own spelling :) ) So Tiny Serger is back on EBay. Lesson for today - Read your machine's Manual!!
Happy Sewing.
