Hi, i have recently joined the HYSC and love it ! I have a Janome 2032 machine that i bought some years ago but never used and have just recently started using it. I have thread the machine with no problems but it keeps unthreading at the needle. Its quite frustrating if i'm sewing as i have to keep stopping, re threading and starting again. Does anyone have any ideas what i am doing wrong please?? I am assuming it could be i haven't mastered the tension possibly. If anyone can help i would much appreciate it. Thank you. Justine x

I have a machine that I hadn't used for a couple of years but needed to get out whilst my main one was away for repair. This kept happening to me too so when my machine was returned the engineer looked at it and said as it was sitting so long it probably had seized. He took it away and said a couple of bits had rusted but not badly so he serviced it, cleaned off the rust and re oiled it and now it works fine.

Hi there ???? I have made my first cross body /shoulder bag and love the fabric and the look of it.....however I haven't used bosal on a bag before and even though I've ironed it several times in the making and when finished I just can't get it to look really smooth..any ideas where I've gone wrong ?

Laura replied: 27 Apr 23 at 09:22
It?s a lovely bag and clever pattern matching. Have you tried giving it a good steam with a steam iron to ensure that the adhesive on the Bosal is activated ..take it slowly to ensure that you don?t cause creases in the fabric. A pressing ham is useful in the bag as you iron or a rolled up towel inside to keep the fabric taught as you iron. Hope this helps.

Anyone got the instructions for oven mitts for Highland kit please x
Laura replied: 24 Apr 23 at 18:20
Debbie has added them as a free download on her website as she found out that they have been left out of the kit by the packers. You will find them on debbieshoresewing.com She also said that you could email her at enquiries@debbieshoresewing.com if you wanted to ask for a copy to be sent in the post. Hope this helps.

Good morning everyone, I want to make a waterproof over the shoulder bag using canvas material treated with Odicoat, and also using Bosal foam? So, would it be better to fuse the canvas and foam, and then treat it with the Odicoat, or should I treat the canvas first? Would the treated fabric fuse to the bosal foam, if I steam ironed it from the back of the foam? Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
Helen N replied: 27 Apr 23 at 11:33
Thanks Ladies, I really appreciate your responses. I do remember Debbie briefly demonstrating how to apply Odi Coat in one of her videos (can't remember when :( ), and she did mention something recently about doing a demonstration.
