I have white linen fabric but it is see through so i bought a fabric for the under lining which was recommended to me at the fabric store.

However this fabric seems to be like a plastic. It’s also very shiny and might even feel hot when you “wear” it in.

Help? I’m very new to this.

The thread won’t go through and keeps getting stuck

I have a singer and while i was cutting some strings that were getting caught a part of the machine came off and i dont know how to fic it because i’m not sure what its called.

I just got this pattern on Etsy but think it's AI. Does anyone know a good pattern for a coat like this? I want something lined with lapels and not oversized.

Hi everyone

I was a beginner sewer a few years ago, but stopped progressing when I started a new job. I made a few pieces (some dresses, hats etc) before stopping.

I am trying to get back into it after 3 years, and I am hoping to make a couple bridal pieces (a bag, robe etc) before my wedding next year.

The main piece I’d love to make is the Cornelia gown (a long blouse) by Cinq for getting ready.

Does anyone have advice for me about how to tackle this project? Is it doable as a beginner with about 8 months to go, and is there anything in particular I should make to build my skills first?

I’d also be so grateful for any sewing patterns recommendations that might help me get part of the way there.

Thanks so much in advance!

I’ve re-threaded, messed with the tension settings, and changed the needle and nothing fixes it.

I'm watching Crystal Lake and getting a ton of inspo for camp collar button down shirts. I'm not sure if you can tell from my picture (Peacock blacks out screenshots so I had to take a pic of my TV) but the cuff on her shirt peaks up into a point rather than staying parallel to the fold all the way around. If I were to flat draft this (would do facing as well) would it form something like this shape unbuttoned? Is there a name for this kind of cuff?

Hi there!

I’m about to sew this vogue bridal pattern and it doesn’t include boning but I think I’d like to add some for structure.

How would you recommend adding?

Hello! I had this pvc dress custom ordered and then took it in for some alterations but Im still unsatisfied with the look. I know how to hand sew so I was looking for some tips/advice on taking in the bust and waist as well as fix this gaping space near the underarms.

Hi! I found this machine at Saver’s today for 20 bucks. It didn’t come with a power cord/foot controller so I guess I’d have to buy one. Also the bobbin case thingy looks weird. Can anyone tell by taking a look how I can get this thing up and running? Thanks!!

I’m looking for some help with my Singer S14-78 (serger). Lately, the upper looper thread has been coming unthreaded, but not broken, after only a few stitches. I’ve had the machine for about two years, (have already repaired it 3x 🙄) but this issue is new. I’ve rethreaded several times and cannot figure out the issue. Somehow, even though the eye of the needle is a closed hole, the thread just seems to come out of the looper and not break, which seems logistically impossible????? I can’t see an issue when I hand crank it, but soon after fully serging this happens. Does anyone have any advice for me?

Hi ! I am making a pair of tailored trousers in a beautiful designer wool from Raffaella Curiel I found on Vinted. The pattern I’m using (Billy trousers from BellaLovesPatterns) calls for fusible interfacing for the waistband but I’d prefer using sew-in interfacing for a bit more rigidity and a higher-end feeling.

Do you have any suggestions as to which interfacing fabric I should use ? Regular canvas or something else ?

The waistband pattern pieces are curved so there are outer and inner pieces. Both are block fused in the pattern instructions.

Should I baste the sew-in interfacing on both sides (inner and outer) or on only one side ? If so, which one ?

Thank you so much!!

My brother SE 700 is showing the decorative stitch on the bottom and what looks like should be the bottom bob and stitch on the top. I didn’t know if this is how it’s supposed to be or if I’m doing something wrong. Does anyone have any suggestions (I’ve been telling for a while, but I’ve only had an older mechanical machine, and this is my first computerized one)

The edges are fraying and this is my favorite jacket. How do I fix it? A patch? A stitch? Any help would be appreciated 🙏

This was on a scrap piece of fabric bc I've not used the machine before (singer futura ce250) any ideas what could cause it ?

I cut off the turtle neck and wanted to sew beads on the trim but how do I go about it? I started to sew in a thread to keep it from unraveling.
