Umm - the green buttonholer does not do zig-zag stitching for seams,
just buttonholes with the little disks in it. There is a zig-zag
attachment you can get as well.
Happy sewing.

First thing - try turning the needle around. If it is in backwards (as

Hi all,
At the theatre last night I was asked about the value of old sewing
machines. I had no idea on this one:
Penny, it looks like a hemmer to me, that attaches to the bed of the
machine. If you are going to play with your treadle you should get
over to treadleon.net and join that mailing list, for people who use
their old treadles. You will enjoy it, I'm sure.

I actually own two uniquely you forms - one very small one made to fit
my sister, and one that is my current size (actually, by adjusting the
covers and amount of stuffing, it has accounted for me over a 40 lb.
weight swing well).

I got a Kromski harp table loom (24") so I can try my hand at simple
weaving, and some knitting related stuff. A book on pattern draping. A
very nice shawl from Myanmar. And a very fancy waffle iron (gotta eat, after
all).

Bjarne, I am in awe! That embroidery looks absolutely fantastic!!!
Makes me wish I had a reason to commission a dress from you someday, the
work is exquisite! I'm sorry we will have to wait for more updates, but I
hope you have a very merry Christmas and enjoy your holidays.

What about the software products like PC Stitch? They cost around $30 and
