  • 1895 Reissue 41 Style 11
    Style 9: 1893 40 New Johnston ruffler (Figure 41b, page 21), Style 8 tuck- marker. Style 10: 1895 reissue 41 New ruffler Figures 44a to 44c page 22), and Style 8 tuck- marker. Style 11: 1899 reissue 42 New ruffler (as in Figure 40c, page 20, but with the spacer) and Style 8 tuck-marker. Three different Style 11 sets are documented, but they are all dated after the Style 12 set! All three style 11 manuals describe a foot hemmer, but none of the box illustrations or the lists of attachments include it. As I think it is likely that Singer produced sets chronologically this reissue suggests that there is at least one other, earlier style 11 set. 40 Singer, 1893b. 41 Singer, 1895a. 42 Singer, 1899. 29 Style 11: 1901 reissue 43 New tuck-marker on page 14 of the instruction manual. (The illustration on page 15 of the manual and the box view opposite show the 1899 tuck-marker, probably because the drawing was copied from the previous manual. Both are given the same number of 26513.) This Style manual includes a price list. A “box with racks” is the folding box with the holding clips but without any attachments or accessories. Style 11: 1906 reissue 44 A different arrangement of the accessories (screwdrivers, and so on). Otherwise the same as the above, including the two different tuck-markers that are given the same number of 26513. It is one of the most common folding boxes. This Style manual has a price list. 45 Style 12: 1895 reissue This Style manual includes a list of contents.

Feb.24-282021 Mathew Boudreaux Sewist, Crafter, Teacher, Speaker, Designer, Advocate Mathew Boudreaux of Mister Domestic learned to sew as a kid, but never really got into it until he had his daughter Helena, who is now seven. He thought it would be a great way to connect with her if he could make her cool clothes. With a new motivation to up his attention-to-detail, the quality and coolness far exceeded even his own expectations. Once he started posting his projects on social media, the quilting world quickly took notice of his fearless use of color and print, incomprehensibly fast output, carefree enthusiasm and humor, and ability to seek out, acquire and share new skills. Making projects from fabric weaving to English Paper Piecing to apparel to the 3-Dimensional, you can find his fabric party on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube.

  • Janome Memory Craft 500 Embroidery Machine Policies Age
    Janome Memory Craft 500 Embroidery Machine Policies Age Restrictions 13 and older after certification. Consumables needed (and restrictions) Patrons must provide their own consumable materials, including thread, stabilizer, fabric and possibly needles (if using specialized thread.). In order to keep this machine in top working order, restrictions on brands and types of materials do apply, and all materials must be checked by STEAM Central Staff to insure they will work in the machine. Below is a list of approved items. • Machine embroidery thread – can be polyester, cotton, rayon, metallic/mylar, silk or special-effect. If using cotton or silk it needs to be heavier, 30 – 50 weight, for the best results. Never use old thread or regular sewing thread. Recommended brands o Janome o Gutermann o Madiera o Robison-Anton o YLI o Florianai o Isacord o Mettler Polysheen o Glide o Sulky • Bobbin thread is a lightweight thread (60 wt.) for machine embroidery or machine basting. When bobbin thread is used for machine embroidery, it allows the back of the embroidery design to be much less dense than the front of the design. Often black or white thread is used. Recommended brands: see above for machine embroidery threads. • Stablizer - When embroidering onto fabric, we're adding weight and tension of thread and stitches. The fabric needs to be stronger and more "stable" to support the stitches. Stabilizer is required with every embroidery project. o Cutaway. Choosing a soft and pliable cutaway stabilizer will bring the best results, both during embroidery and during wear/use/laundering of the item as well.
