(Make sure not to catch the gathering thread.) Gather skirt by pulling the bobbin threads. Note: Personally I find it easier doing this way with tulle, but you can stitch the sides together first and then stitch and gather the upper edge. Grab the elastic and overlap raw edges by 1/...
If your machine can’t handle the invisible in the bobbin, just use a thread color that matches. Adhere a strip of fusible seam tape (EZ Steam II) to the center of the webbing. Lay the ribbon on top, right side up, centered. (There will be ribbon extensions on each side) Wrap the...
Attached to the machine is a basket that will catch the shoelace as it is woven. Next, the braiding begins. Electric motors start the braiding machinery. The bobbins start weaving the thin shoelace, with the braiding action resembling a maypole as the bobbin thread is deployed in a ...
I used silver bobbin thread to match the silver bias tape. 🙂 Step 6: Take your handle pieces and iron them in half the short way so they start to look like handles. I like to use my serger to make things speedy, so serge the long open edge and the short ends. It’s super cut...
If the zigzag is pulling the two stitches together and creating a pucker between them on top and a tunnel underneath, tighten the thread tension on top and loosen it on the bobbin until the stitching lays flat. Step 10: Creating Elastic Hems ...
Adjusting the Tension Step 1 Wind a new bobbin and insert it in the case. Hold the bobbin thread close to the case and pull sharply upward. The bobbin case should drop down just a bit. If the case doesn't drop, the bobbin tension is too tight. Use a screwdriver to turn the screw ...
Prepare your thread. You can use any thread in the bobbin, but I advise you to begin with a full one. However, when working with a thread for bobbins, always work with a fully twisted bobbin thread for embroidery. This way you will reduce the possibility to find the bobbin empty in th...
I marked the four corners of the folds with pins, and that’s where I sewed. I changed my top thread to match the top of my blanket and the bobbin thread to match the bottom. The zig-zag stitch length on my machine was set to .5, and stitched about 8 stitches forward and 8 ...
we’ve been transforming for the past few weeks (see how wepainted stripesandhung mirrorshere). This week’s project is a custom crib skirt that we easily whipped up on the cheap with fabric that we snagged on sale andwithoutthe use of a sewing machine- or even a needle and thread!
With thetransparent cover, you will be able to see exactly when the bobbin is low on the thread so that you do not run out in the middle of a project. The top of the sewing machine also features abobbin winderso that you can load multiple bobbins with different threads. This will make...
