so it doesn't matter if it doesn't match the top thread??

TIA!

Nope, it doesn't matter! You can't see any of the bobbin thread on the front -- as long as your tension is correct. When you get the machine the manual will show a pic of what the correct tension will look like.

Ok, just went to marathon again. They are many many choices.. sideless, poly... what???!?!?!?

How do I make that choice??
Brother PE 770 if you need a reminder!

I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out!!!!!!!!

Since we are talking new machines and supplies:

I sometimes get more pucker on my embroidery and applique that what I expected.

What am I doing wrong and how do I fix it? I use tear a way stabilizer and hoop as tight as I can.

According to this chart: http://metroemb.com/Bobbin-Type.pdf your machine will use Class 15 (A)

I would get the plastic A (white) from marathon.

Looks like Item 14000 A is your choice at marathon.

Speaking of thread . . . Didn't someone mention thread was going to be 50% off at Jo Ann's? Does anyone have the info on that? TIA


I finished up a Cinderella today. (Actually I did two.) My youngest is going to keep one. She picked out the fabric at JA's not long ago.

I just booked the Disney Magic for it's maiden voyage out of Galveston Sept 22, 2012!!!

How do I wait that long? Oh well, at least I have a lot of time to get my back and hands better so I can sew!

 

[froggy33]

I've loved looking through and getting some ideas for things to make. I've been sewing for years and used to sew for others until I just didn't have time anymore. I'm very excited about making some customs for my kids for our trip coming up next month. Lots of great inspiration here! I hadn't thought about making myself a special tote bag to carry, but that is now on my to do list as well.

This is the latest thing I made for my DD. She is a real girly girl. The twirlier the better. I can't wait to do some applique on a dress for her.

So pretty and so feminine! I love it!

Wendy--I booked single occupancy (which is always more expensive) but it was around $770 per person inside. I also booked an accessible cabin (there are so few--that's why I booked so early!) I will keep a lookout for price drops on my category and hope to get a little (or a lot) refunded!

I am hoping to do a little sewing for me between now and then--surely I will be able to have some good sewing days between now and then.

Is it possible to make the Rosetta without a serger? Any way to do the rolled hem, or is there an alternate way to finish the edge?

April, wish I could help, but I do hand applique. I have seen others say they don't hoop the shirt, just the stabilizer. Maybe that is worth a try. I use the pin on tear away from Sulky that I buy on a roll at HL or Joann's and it works great for me on T's. I do double it though. I'm interested in trying other products, but this seems to work for me, so I'm scared to try something else and it not work. I loved seeing your pix of the entrance to costuming. I bet that tour was awesome. How was the rest of your trip? You snuck back so quietly this time.

Yes, you can finish the ruffles one of three ways detailed out by Carla. Serger, narrow rolled hem or double thickness ruffles.

Where do you ladies find your favorite disney fabrics? I want to start shopping for the fabrics I plan to use on Disney autograph quilts, but I'm so afraid to buy something, and then have buyers remorse if I find something cuter somewhere else. Is there a fabric store at WDW? I would love to find WDW fabric.
I'm almost finished with my first ever quilt, and as soon as it's done I will post a picture here.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Buyers remorse for fabric? I'm sorry, I don't understand what that means.




The more fabric the better!

I can finally post the outfits I made for Peanuts big give she finally recieved the package

AMAZING outfits!!!!!

Ugg, it's cold and rainy today...go figure, I washed my minivan yesterday!

Oh well, perfect day to sit inside and sew! Not Disney related, but here's some in the hoop bunny slippers I made DD today

These are so cute!!! Where did you get the design?

QUESTION:

So I have been lurking through this thread and several of the old threads and noticed a fabric pocket wall hanging. These have names embroidered on them. What are they for? I've scanned through trying to find info, but haven't found anything.....Thanks!!!

ANSWER: It's a Fish Extender for the Disney Cruise Line (in case you didn't undertand the abbreviations used earlier). I've never been on a cruise, but my understanding is that you hang those on the little fish that is outside the room, and then people can put little prizes and things in them. I believe there are groups on the Dis you can join of other people going on the same cruise and you just trade little trinkets. Like I said, I've never been on a cruise, but that is my understanding.

Also I wondered if this was a good machine ---Disney Brother Computerized sewing & embroidery machine??? I am asumming it has pre-loaded Disney art. Any advice?

also has anyone got advice for finding Cindrerella graphic fabric?

ANSWER:

ANSWER: I wouldn't pay more for the Disney machine. I have the Brother 270D, which I love (although I have upgraded to the 770 for the bigger hoop), but I don't use the preloaded designs. They don't stitch out very nicely and they are all filled, and I prefer the appliques. What model are you looking at?

ANSWER: I have seen Cinderella fabric at Joann's recently.

I've loved looking through and getting some ideas for things to make. I've been sewing for years and used to sew for others until I just didn't have time anymore. I'm very excited about making some customs for my kids for our trip coming up next month. Lots of great inspiration here!

Very pretty, I love the fabrics!

Since we are talking new machines and supplies:

I sometimes get more pucker on my embroidery and applique that what I expected.

What am I doing wrong and how do I fix it? I use tear a way stabilizer and hoop as tight as I can.

ANSWER: I have had that happen more often with tear away or wash away stabilizer than when I use the cut away. The cutaway seems to offer more stability, especially for a more dense or lager design.

Speaking of thread . . . Didn't someone mention thread was going to be 50% off at Jo Ann's? Does anyone have the info on that? TIA


I finished up a Cinderella today. (Actually I did two.) My youngest is going to keep one. She picked out the fabric at JA's not long ago.

I love it!!! Very, very pretty. Tell her she did a great job picking out the fabric!

I have this same QUESTION? and I recently boughtnew ball point needles, but then realized they came in different sizes as well so which do I use? they came in 9, 11, 14, and 16?

 

[cogero]

I have never used a ball needle I am not even sure how to pick one. I just use my regular needle.
