Ms Eliza Bennet Shirt Tutorial 2011 SINGER® SEWING CO. | Resources: Machine Needles Selecting the correct needle for your project is just as important as selecting the fabric, thread and stabilizer. There are different sizes and types of needles for different types of fabric. The European metric sizing system for sewing machine needles is numbered from 60 to 110. A good rule of thumb to keep in mind: the lighter the fabric the smaller the needle size and the heavier the fabric the larger the needle size. A full selection of SINGER® needles is available online in our NEEDLES section. Sewing Machine Needles Regular Point (Style 2020) needles are used for all woven fabrics. Serger/Overlock Machine Needles Regular Point (Style 2054-42) serger needles are used for all woven fabrics. Change the needle after sewing two to three garments or after hitting a pin.

Vintage Fruit Sauce So Mother’s Day, it was pretty great. My husband totally spoiled me and even got me ice cream for breakfast. Bless him. First of all, what makes it ‘vintage?’ I mixed everything in a bowl, separated in into jars (took a quick pic for instagram, obviously!) Turns out, I’m about to make me some moonshine! Day 1: sugars and fruit separate a lot in the jar. Ok, aaaaaand, my final conclusion on day 14??? Ingredients Fermented Fruit Starter: 3/4 cup Canned peaches in heavy syrup, drained and cut into pieces 3/4 cup Canned pineapple tidbits in heavy syrup, drained 6 Maraschino cherries, cut in half 1 1/2 cups Sugar 2+1/4 tsp Active Dry Yeast Vintage Fruit Sauce: 1 cup fermented fruit (starter) 1/2 cup canned peaches in heavy syrup, drained and cut into pieces 1/2 cup canned pineapple tidbits in heavy syrup, drained 6 maraschino cherries, cut in half 1 cup sugar Instructions Combine ingredients and place in a glass jar with a loose cover – and apothecary jar is perfect.

The Seam Method of Pattern Alteration An innovative technique for pattern alteration that's simple to understand and easy to do, offering options other techniques don't. by Judith Rasbandfrom Threads #85, pp. 48-51 When I was studying pattern alteration in college, I learned that no matter what method you use to alter a pattern, when you're done, all that's really changed is the outline, or outer edge of the pattern. As my teachers and I explored this idea, we further proved that the closer you place the alteration to the seam or stitching line, the less distortion to the pattern there will be. In other words, if you alter any pattern right at the stitching line, you can correct it without shifting the grainline, and you can keep changes to the lengths of nearby seams to an absolute minimum. We developed an alteration technique around these discoveries and called it the seam method. Alteration basicsThe following guidelines are useful no matter what alteration technique you're using. * The amounts of change must be correct.
