I am a mother, wife, educator, sister, auntie, bestie and extreme lover of SEWING! I've been sewing for many moons; my interest started at 6 years young and I am still sewing strong today! I would like to take my passion and spread the sewing love by teaching you!
If you are interested in what I use in my sewing studio to keep me successfully sewing oh so beautifully, check out my must have page at MinasMustHaves.com
I am trying to get a quilt done fast and that needle guide and screw fell off in four pieces. It had been loose for a long time. Thank goodness I found this video. I am going to try to put it all back together tomorrow and make it work. Wish me luck. You are a gem for making this video.
Thank you so much for this video...I tried this with 1 of my dolls, changing whas needed of course, an this turned out amazing, again, thank you so much.
This is brilliant. I had been just sewing elastic against the inner waistband. This is so much more finished looking and will be so much more comfortable.
Yes- it’s a special screw that’s bent at the top that will get to that area- I can’t remember the name of that screwdriver, check the comments as I do believe I mentioned the name before.
Thank you for posting this. I have the exact problem! I moved way out in the country and there are no service places to take my machine to. This saved me!!!
Bad time/video management, to mention tools three times, then end up 'talking' about sewing bottom & hem to people that might be their 1st project... What a shame, is a pretty dress.
Thanks for watching and for your comment! You can always google terms and techniques that you are unfamiliar with then come back to this channel and make this beautiful summer dress!!
@@s.e.3252 says who though? There’s nothing wrong about reaching out for assistance/help if you are struggling with the video- that’s why I am here. Now, if you would watch the video in order- it’s listed in my playlist in order.. again, thanks for watching!
At first I was stumped why this didn’t work for me. Then I remembered that the filter said she stuck a small piece onto the new lifter bar. My machine was missing this! I found the part online at sewing parts online and ordered that too. It’s called “Knob Spring, Elna #395054-50”
Love that you did this with the children. I discovered sewing only 6 years ago and am now obsessed. My mom is a brilliant sewist but I never picked it up until I was an adult. Just thinking how the kids will be able to make their own clothes and items. I love everything I make; even the clunkers!
Thanks so much!!! That’s why I love teaching the youth so they won’t - later in life say I wish I would have picked this up as a child and they could have been further along with a passion they absolutely love.
I believe I made these sleeves 10” Long, if you want them longer just add that length and continue. So, instead of 10” long, make them 20” king of that’s your desired length.
Came across your tutorial today as I have just sewn an open front jacket and wasn't planning to put any lining in it as it is made with a knit fabric. However, the style of the jacket has a curved front requiring the seams to be notched /clipped and the front facing/finishing piece is only 1.5 inches wide when sewn on. Not happy with how unfinished it looks so now I'm going to line it and already have the pieces ready to go. thank you for this well-present tutorial - it has been a big help in determining how to go about attaching it. The only thing I plan to do differently is to not stitch across the bottom hem. After the fronts and neckline are attached I will then turn it up and hand stitch that edge into place.
Quick question before I get started ... the front and back squares are supposed to be the full wrapped width? so if I measured at 46 inch I'd need to cut two pieces that are 69 inches wide?
Yes!😩 it does come in- I didn’t realize the sound was muted at the very beginning until it was already uploaded and finished!! Sorry about that.. but, I’m just saying “I love this pattern, it’s one of my favorites and that I love all things cowl neck” ❤️❤️
Beautiful. ! Loved your way of doing and listening to your viewers is awesome. Have been sewing for 4 decades. Always learn newer and better ways. Subscribed. 💞💞
I learned to sew from my grandmother eons ago. Using lace hem tape was a given for all garments. The only thing different she taught me was at each stitch through the fabric is to make a small knot in the lace tape.
lace is light weight, so its ideal for using a light weight fabric. The hem was lengthened, so I used lace to give me the most length possible. If I had hemmed the traditional way I would have had to turn up at least an inch. It's also decorative. It can add a pop of color to the underside of a pair of pant when walking or sitting.
Thank you for the excellent explanation. I was having the exact same problem with my Epic. I tightened up the little screw and voila! My machine is up and running again. Thank you so, so much!
Hi! This video wasn’t intended to be a tutorial to show how to make a skirt for you to keep up, I am just documenting my experience using my Ditto.. sorry. Happy sewing to you as well, thanks!
No, the dress is just a square piece of fabric gathered for shape - so just add them, as it will appear as an a-line dress with or without the ruffles.
I can’t believe this works still. Had repair person put needle clamp in. Brought it home, needle kept on falling out. We brought the machine back and the tech said we must have stripped the screw again . So he put in a new needle. And said if it didn’t work we would have to pay for new repair. We brought it home again and needle fell out. So my husband searched the web and found this video. Wow it worked on my Husqvarna designer ruby. I’m back to sewing thank you so much for this information !!
Thank you! Couldn’t believe my needle if she’s falling out couldn’t believe it so thank you for this tutorial I appreciate it. I didn’t have to carry my 75 pound epic back to the store. You save me a trip and frustration.
I really believe they need to recall these machines or they need to offer this fix for free!!! Too many people are experiencing this!! Causing us unnecessary money spent on repairs if we didn’t know any better - this is money that we could be spending on buying fabric!!!’
