Life's too short to avoid wearing what pleases us, right? <br />Any issues with the wide bateau neckline and bra strap over-exposure?<br /><br />BTW I also got a new overlocker a few years ago because threading my old one drove me nuts. The higher price was 100% worth it, because I quickly used this one and enjoyed using it more than the previous. Sometimes I would spend more time threading and re-threading than actual sewing for a project, and the time estimate of serging made me stick to simpler projects. A good machine is so liberating for creativity and enjoyment.Katharinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14355680090132670030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916038188571690726.post-68242298341139759092011-06-11T08:38:05.968+10:002011-06-11T08:38:05.968+10:00Thanks for this - I desperately need new tees and ...Thanks for this - I desperately need new tees and have fabric in my stash for them.

My wonderful servicing guy looked at it, said the timing looked okay then looked at the threading through the tension drums. 'It looks like the threads might not be all the way in" he said. <br /><br />Duh. <br /><br />He was right. <br /><br />Because I lazily rethreaded by cutting the old ones ofn the spools, tieing the new ones to the old then bringing them through by "overlocking", I had perpetuated my mistake...<br /><br />Now it works like a treat!.<br /><br />Your top looks great. I have a stripe addiction too...Sewingellehttp://beurreblanc.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916038188571690726.post-63506877788611496412011-06-09T13:27:15.029+10:002011-06-09T13:27:15.029+10:00Great tee-shirt and I love the red jacket.

And I never sewed on my old clunker again... Borrowed the money off my boyfriend to fund the purchase!

It was 9degrees when I went to the gym this morning! It's not supposed to be that cold in Byron! I'm considering a dog jacket, too.

It's at the repair shop right now b/c my lower looper thread keeps breaking.

We are sweating now, since it is summer here.<br /><br />I would abandon the old overlocker too. My Imagine is so fast to thread and the stitches so perfect, I could not go back.BeckyWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14978486228919306813noreply@blogger.com
