Comments (2)you know when we had the "biggie" of the 50's that nearly levelled bakersfield and felt it in la, we really didn't have the strong after shocks...(?) my poor dad, he'd only lived in ca for a 3-4 years (from ohio)..we lived in a brick apt building...(that's what fell down in bakersfield) anyway, i guess he took us to the drive-in for a few nights.. know what you mean patti...we've only had the sirins go off a few times but thank goodness farmington mi hasn't had too much damage, either......See MoreOh, NO, not another thread question ...
Comments (24)In the Heirloom machine Applique class I took from Judy Shapiro, she actually recommended using a dressmaker poly blend for the machine applique-a blanket stitch around the edge of the shape to achieve a less noticeable, dainty stitch. I do think you should stitch with all cotton if you are sewing with all cotton fabric. I also love the prewound bobbins - thank you Mary- from Conn Threads.My Pfaff signals low bobbin way to early with these, so I don't pay attention to it. Playing with tension - yes - I always check my tension on a scrap when I make any change to bobbin, thread, needle & make adjustment if necessary. I also have an extra bobbin case for each of my machines, because heavier thread does require a different tension. I do fool with screw as a last resort if I am having tension issues. I have always used two strands of thread in the upper tension discs & gently rubbed them back and forth to clear teeeny bits. Maybe that is a no - no now? I also used Compressed air - my father was a professional photographer (he is now 87)& he always told me never to blow into the machine because of the moisture in your breath was bad for the machine -remember they were all metal then. I used to steal his canned air - this was over 40 years ago. I still have compressed air sitting next to my machine, and I use it with each bobbin change. I use a single hole plate for most of my sewing & that traps the lint and dust. Maybe another no-no with the newer machines. I get more lint from the fabric then the thread-I am using mostly Connecting Thread, but love Gutterman....See Morenicholsworth Z6 Indianapolis
