Teresa!

I think I have the same serger as you and am having some trouble tonight. I have never done a rolled hem before and was experimenting trying to do one today. It says to use the spreader, but when i put it in it just seems loose. Then if I try to run the machine it falls off. Could it be that it came bent, or am I missing something?

Thanks.
 
Ladies...if I use my embroidery machine on a sweatshirt, do I still use the ball point needles?

What would I use on Denim?
 
One of the ladies who comes on this board off an on (theseamstress, Laura) lives near me. We were talking one day, and she told me about a serger underneath the cutting table at a nearby Walmart! She said I should go see if they would sell it cheap. So, I went to the Walmart and found it. Unfortunately, the person who could make me a deal wasn't there that day. So, I had to call back the next day. When I finally got hold of her, she told me I could have it for $50, because she was just tired of having it around. It didn't have a cord or a foot pedal, but I called Singer up when I got it home and they sent me one for free!

Or, I could have just told you:

It was a floor model. ;) But, that wouldn't have been NEARLY as much fun, would have it! :rotfl:

I liked the long version :) Wow!! Great find!
 
Heather and Teresa - I just went back to work this week after being off 2 weeks for my shoulder surgery. It still hurts quite a bit but hopefully will be a-okay for our trip to Disney World on Dec. 11th. We're meeting the kids and grandkidlets so I can't wait! Seeing everyone's beautiful creations has me longing to get back to the sewing machine - it has killed me not to be able to participate in the last few Big Gives; I think I'm having crayon rollup withdrawal. Or it could be the pain meds....:confused3

I'm sorry your shoulder still hurts a lot. I'm hoping it'll be better for your trip, too! :rotfl: about the pain meds! :lmao:

I would use a ball point needle on a sweatshirt. I'm not sure about denim, though.
 

Thanks heather. It's got me stumped. I know I have denim needles for my sewing machine, but I don't know if they can or should be used in my embroidery machine :(

I hope you are all healed up for your trip! It's coming up quickly! We've missed you around here! And we've missed our Cryon Rollup girl!

I think mine must be different, because I don't know what a spreader is! I don't have to put anything on when I do a rolled hem. My cutter just flips up out of the way, I change a little levery thing to Rolled hem tighten the tension and change the stitch length.
 
Ladies who are busy sewing for many different people and would like portraits of your stuff, contact me if you need some photography work done. This isn't anything I'm charging for, so I think it would be okay to post?

If not, please slap my hand, Teresa, before the disboard gods do. But I'm thinking since I'm just offering to help and not asking to buy or sell anything it's okay?

Maybe I did it right this time.

That is so cute and your daughter is not only adorable she has great taste in fabric too!

I really can't post this anywhere else yet...the news media don't have it yet....and it is still developing.

They just found a 'grow house' practically next door to me! My husband is a police officer! There are 2 other police officers that live in our subdivision.

I always thought we lived in a quiet and safe neighborhood! I guess today, there is no such thing as a safe neighborhood. I am so upset I can barely type!

We had a grow-op two doors down from us in our old neighbourhood, we kinda knew something fishy (or should I say skunky, because when they vent the grow-op is smells like skunk) going on but the house renters were weird but kinda nice. The worst part for us was that the 8 police cars came racing down our street and they surrounded the house just as DS's 8th birthday party was starting:scared1:

I can't see how that would break any Dis rules. :confused3
 
I'm not sure what is worse...all the police cars, GBI agents and the like...or all the news media...it is a SMALL neighborhood....an even smaller cul-de-sac! Those tv satellite turcks have t a l l masts!

You think they might be able to get one more in here?????




(and that is not even the worst thing that happened in our small town today. A three year old was mauled by a pit bull. He is not expected to make it! I think it is time to hibernate!)

I was just about to ask what city you lived in because I knew you were near. But I see it is in your side thing. Sorry about everything going on right now. I am sure it was a huge surprise to you and the rest of the neighborhood.

Marah- is there any chance that you might still be considering a sunnier, warmer state? Because I'd happily drive to Dallas ish to have some of your photos of my kiddos- heck I'd even spring for Lunch!:banana::banana::banana:

I promise next time we visit family in The Colony (or as soon as we move) I would be more than happy to take pictures of your kiddos.

This, alas, would have otems that can be shipped back and forth, that you'd like photographed and "prettied up" for posting.

But PLEASE do not fed-ex me your children. With as many as we have, and the foster parenting license on our wall saying it's legal for us to have unexpected drop-ins, it may take me a while to realize they are not mine and I need to send them back! ;)

umm, not seeing the downside:confused3:lmao::lmao:

Remember the last two that got sent here we decided to keep forever!

(I've had the baby girl bug lately, I think that's what's making me want another dog so much right now...I'm trying to talk myself out of that one too)
 
I'm sorry to hear this. That must be horrible to learn. One of our neighbors is growing some 'Plants' on their balcony and a police officer told me that one of my other neighbors was most probably a drug dealer, because of how their apartment is completely blacked out including the baby's room.
My neighbor across the street is dealing something. They just had a baby and neither of them work.. We have sooo many people come and turn in our drive way after stopping in the front of their house and staying for about 30 seconds and then speeding off. Hubby tells me I shouldn't worry, but I do. He said people who smoke pot don't hurt people. IDK about that.

It was a corset back, although I don't have any photos of it. Shirring is beyond me at the moment :)
A corset back is beyond me.. I'd love to see if you ever get the time to rephoto it. :)

I forgot to attach Maddie's Thanksgiving Day outfit. She is napping right now, so I don't have a picture of her wearing it. But I am not about to wake her.

Maybe I did it right this time.
Love the thanksgiving outfit. I hope our Hancocks has some. Makes a cute quick outfit!
Anyone got any cute Daisy ideas? Daisy is dd's fav but I don't see too many customs with her. :confused3 Maybe I am just not looking in the right places. I have seen some safari designs...but we don't usually do Animal kingdom.
LisaZoe made the cutest Daisy custom. I'm sure if you send her a message she'd repost it. I don't see many Daisy customs, but I loooove the one she made.

Toadstool: Thanks for pointing that out to me. I should have flipped the design and then did it.

I am still learning but you pointing that out is really a big help, I appreciate it.
I was hoping you didn't take it as me trying to be mean.
I just hate when I hoop something the wrong way and realize all the bulk of the fabric is on the right like that. I HATE hooping. I hate sticky stabilizer and sticky spray more though.

Oh, you should definitely go to Kauai!!! It is just what you're looking for- quiet, beautiful, and romantic! Did you look at the link I posted? That house was at the base of a mountain that has waterfalls cascading down it!! How much more romantic can you get? The beauty is everywhere!

Oahu was nice, but it was very crowded and touristy. There were some really pretty parts of the island, though. I've never been to Maui or the big island.
My parents sent us to Maui for our honeymoon. :) I chose honeymoon over big wedding. I did look at the link you posted. Here are my criteria for a place to stay somewhere in Hawaii:
1. really big jacuzzi tub in the room
2. NEW.. the newer or newer renovated the better. If its new I figure I have a good chance of a good mattress. I have a bad back and have had too many vacations ruined by a bad mattress!! I either try to find a new hotel or something super nice.. IDK why but Hyatts and places like that always have nice mattresses.
Okay, I admit it.. I'm high maintenance.

Definitely going to look into Kauai more now. I hadn't really heard much about it before. Going to read your trip report thingy that TeresaJoy posted too.
Here is my favorite place we have stayed on a weekend getaway.

Maui was definitely a better place to vacation, but this place was better for um.. other stuff. :rotfl: All of the stuff we did as far as site seeing and all that was better in Maui for sure though. I did not like our room though. I guess it is pretty bad that I am so worried about my mattress and my hot tub.. :(
We are going back to the treetop cottages in January, and I am so excited about it.

I hate being cold more than sockmonkeys scare me!
What is wrong with sock monkeys and sock monkey blankets?? You are so weird. :rolleyes1
I have a beautiful sock monkey quilt.. would you like to see it??

I was told that the safest neighborhoods were the ones with a dealer on the street, because they won't deal to people who bring trouble to their front doors and they also make the buyers leave the property ASAP. I have to say that since this family has been living here there haven't been any police cars pulling into this side of the complex and there hasn't been any issues either. I'm not saying that having a dealer is a good thing though. I hope he gets caught so that that mess isn't on the streets.
 
I have my Babylock Ellageo Plus sitting in the box in my dinning room. I am afraid to open it. I am in awe of the things it can do compared to my regular sewing machine.
