I love sewing with knits, but I am not a perfectionist, and I let that slide even more with knits. So my sewing is not nearly as lovely and professional as yours! But it does the job. Sometimes it is good to relax standards!Inder-ifichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09724667602427496583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7451620064759054335.post-77956247563463921042014-03-17T21:05:20.242-07:002014-03-17T21:05:20.242-07:00That is what I though, after going to that much ef...That is what I though, after going to that much effort I had to try to deliver.<br />Thank you Elizabeth.

I really struggle with it. it will sew and then skip stitches, for no apparent reason.<br /><br />My everyday machines are semi-industrial 40 year old jobbies. No computers, no fussy tensions, just clean and oil.<br /><br />Funny enough, the best results I get its with that cheap thread from Spotlight (the fat short spools) is it Birch? That lasts the longest with out breaking.<br /><br />I am sure the tension is hinky on mine too. Sorry not to be more help.<br /><br />I must admit, I am watching semi-industrial cover machines on eBay....<br /><br />xx N<br /><br />PS I am hoping to pop in today.motherof5https://www.blogger.com/profile/10195031588051037622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7451620064759054335.post-47111961175312810122014-03-17T16:27:58.399-07:002014-03-17T16:27:58.399-07:00Thank you Sharon, it seems to be what the teenager...Thank you Sharon, it seems to be what the teenagers want to wear.<br />xx Nmotherof5https://www.blogger.com/profile/10195031588051037622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7451620064759054335.post-24712406892021402852014-03-17T16:27:07.371-07:002014-03-17T16:27:07.371-07:00Thank you Sarah, I really appreciate that.
