Troubleshooting your Sewing Machine with Jaycotts.co.uk
A Jaycotts Blog post with Alex Jaycott and myself
I asked Jaycotts about troubleshooting Sewing machines as we all have problems from time to time and we don't always know where to start to sort it out.
Alex,
The biggest issue we encounter is mis-threading of the sewing machine

A very beautiful blouse in fabulous Art Gallery Fabrics stretch cotton Jersey
I do not normally wear blouses and I was thinking about why I don't. I realised that I have always sewn them in a woven fabric and I feel too restricted when wearing fabrics like cotton Lawn, no matter how beautiful it is , it's just not me.
So I was glad to have been gifted a length of this fabric and also a copy of the pattern, so it was the perfect opportunity
