fun video but tubular rivets suck and double caps are just as strong? what are you talking about that tubular are designed for pull force too?😂🙈 theyre designed to be as cheap and fast to assemble as possible
I’m only 15 minutes in to this video and I already wish I could attend an in person class with you! I would love to soak up some of that knowledge! Thanks for this!
Only been sewing for a little while. Just got comfortable and more confident trying the heavy material and thread I had been hoping to use. Was struggling with tension and your video helped a lot. I just learned a bit more from trial and error and talking to the ladies at the shop where I got my machine. Your lesson was kind of the right video covering the exact topics at the right time and really helped all the information click and make sense. Great demonstration and info about how to handle the machine and moving my confidence closer to the limits of what the machine can do.
“Heavy Duty” is a marketing term to sell you domestic machines with plastic parts. This woman is using a domestic dressmaking machine to sew stuff it was not designed for. Machines going to break. The timing won’t hold up. Those bags void the warranty on a domestic machine.
These things are the devil!!!!! How the heck are they strong I have 32 to remove and I’ve literally gone to war with one of them using POWER TOOLS and they things are not even giving up!!!!!!
Hi Ellie just came across your site and absolutely love it. I need to upgrade my old singer sewing machine and need something more robust as my own machine struggles with heavy frabic. I see you have singer heavy duty. The lady in my local singer store recommended the 4452 heavy duty. Could I get your option on that .I don't want to make a wrong choice Thank you Ellie, and again your work is just beyond words. You're such a great inspiration.
SUPER instructive video. I’m quite a new sewer and this has been a wonderful video to have come across better late than never, right?! Looking forward to seeing more. Thank you
I am sooooo mad I didn’t see this when it was live. I’m seeing it two years later. But it was fabulous. I learned so much. I have a Singer HD 6600C. My last few projects were a thick wool poncho/shacket and a leather and jean skirt. I experienced pretty much everything she said. I used a walking foot and that made it better. But next time I’ll lengthen the stitch. And I’ll sure to turn the dial towards me. 😊😊😊. I learned so much.
I just found you! Thank you so much for this education! Been sewing for years and some of the information just falls in place and make sense of troubleshooting over the years!!
Oh.. Ellie. Thank you so so much. That was an absolute academic course. Wish I knew half of those info earlier. I have been nought several domestics. Several industrials. Mistakes of an enthusiastic newbie.
amazing. I took notes the whole time. I have been repurposing and learning by trial and error but you made it much more simpler and insightful. I will continue to learn and follow.. I love this
would waxed canvas be good to make a possibles bag? My brother has given me an assignment lol... Im a VERY beginner bag maker but have been a quilter for 30+ years so I feel I can make accomplish this but know my machine will not sew thick leather.
every other tutorial i saw included metal tabs or making an entire fabric piece to cover these ugly lil zipper ends, thank you so, SO much for this video!! it is going to make sewing zippers much less daunting <3
I was looking to repair a bag of mine myself instead of sending it in but after seeing the press I think I'll just send it in. I could just set them in some thin soft wood like a sandwich and then drive over top of it.
Get flat pliers and crush the rivet from the sides; rotate 90 degrees and repeat. Rarely the rivet holds after that torture and you don't have to touch the leather.
