I made these four skirts from some Sophia doubleknit from Vogue fabrics. I love that the orange is called "hot sauce" and the green is "spanish olive". The "sangria" is on backorder. Granted, its a pretty stable knit, but you can see the hem is quite nice. I did not use steam a seam, but never found it necessary with this fabric before. The real test with be with a jersey fabric.
That'll have to wait though, because my daughter and I are going on a sewing-related road trip tomorrow.
Nice colors and fabrics. I love my coverstitch also. It's a speedy way to finish edges and looks professional.
ReplyDeleteI have exactly this machine, and you are right, the manual is all but useless. I bought mine used, so I don't have any support from the dealer. I think what I find most frustrating about the lack of info, is the lack of information regarding additional feet and binders and and and. I do love the machine though. Thank goodness for Debbie Cook and all the info she has compiled. What would we do without her?
ReplyDeleteAll the best on your sewing road trip. Those fabric colours are great.
ReplyDeleteExactly. Debbie Cook is great.
