I have a Singer Talent machine and would like to buy a one step buttonhole foot. This is the one where you can put the button onto it and it works out how large your buttonhole needs to be. There seem to be quite a few but would anyone recommend one please?

I'm not familiar with that machine but make sure it has a one step buttonhole stitch before you buy the foot...

Has anyone made a pillowcase I'm looking to make a couple in plain fabric and embroider them with my new machine.
Alice replied: 12 Feb 23 at 11:32
Are you machine embroidering? I did loads of embroidered pillowcases recently for xmas, and let me give you a tip: it's far easier to leave one side of the pillowcase open before you embroider, then sew it up at the end, rather than embroidering on a completed pillowcase. (I know pillowcases have one side open anyway; I mean, one extra side open that you'd normally sew up!)

I have a few garments that I want to up-cycle into something fun but I'm out of ideas (even though I have Refashion Restyle Restitch). There are one pair of thin black linen pants and one pair of stretch jeggings. They both have holes you know where but the rest is fine. I also have a top in a flowing purple viscose fabric that's not stretchy. I accidentally shrunk it in the washer so it's smaller than before ???? but otherwise intact. Any ideas on what I could make would be very much appreciated! It's not a lot of workable fabric but I should be able to do something fun, right?

Block of the month (February)...I am confused by the measurements as it is listed as eight 2 7/8" (or 7.25cm) for WW but then lists eight 2 7/8" as 7.5 cm for fab 1 then to add to my confusion it list one 3" as 7.5cm for fab 3! so for those who have made the block did you go with 2 7/8" for WW and Fab 1 and 3" for the fab 3? Thanks!

New member. I?d like to make a bag using the black suede on the website. Has anyone used it and any tips? Does it fray, have bulky seams and can I use fleece or interfacing with it? I want to make the bag in suede and a cotton fabric.
Karen replied: 3 Feb 23 at 22:44
Thankyou Laura. This is very helpful information. I?m now feeling more confident and I?ll definitely make the bag with suede fabric. Can?t wait to get started. Thankyou again .

Hi hope someone can help with this. My Singer machine is slipping stitches, I have tried all the usual things,cleaned it re threaded, changed the needle and it is still skipping, is there anyway else I can try. Thanks in advance.
Laura replied: 2 Feb 23 at 13:15
Does this happen on different types of fabrics ?it might be that the needle is not correct for thread or fabric type. It also may be the foot is not fitted correctly or not compatible with your machine. Is there any lint in your feeddogs as this can cause slipping as well. You have to be a detective to sew!!

Hi all Is there a video on card holder
HYSC replied: 1 Feb 23 at 16:16
Hi - the card holder is a returning project as voted by the members - it was originally a secondary project, so there is no video I'm afraid.

Hello, is there a video showing the steps for the doll?s house or do you just carefully follow the instructions? Thank you.
Megan replied: 1 Feb 23 at 11:34
There isn?t a video for that one no because it was a secondary project.
