Ask friends and relatives to share with you the people who do adjustments for them. You will need to have dresses taken in and probably shortened.<br /> <br /> I have found that you can find information about people who sew through your local dry cleaner. Many people who use the services of dry cleaners have to find someone who will mend their clothes. So, this is an excellent place to start.<br /> <br /> But, I have learned to do things my way. I do like to save money. I do not like to spend money on frivolous things. I thought being able to sew might save a couple bucks for me.

For many, the antique Singer sewing machine value is mostly, or partially, sentimental. Machines were usually passed on to other family members. This does not, however, mean that antique Singer machine value lies purely in the sentimental, or in the family tree. Collectors enjoy the quality and workmanship.<br /> <br /> Singer started to manufacture sewing machines back in 1851, later on in 1856, was when the first home model came into existence. They were offered on a credit payback plan.<br /> <br /> These earlier models were stand mounted and featured one pedal while later models featured lock-stitch shuttles (patented by Singer in 1859) and two pedals. They were so popular, that they even had their own action figure and die cast models for kids. The action figure and the die cast models are in their own class of collectible.<br /> <br /> Over the next several decades, Singer focused on creating more affordable models for home-use through mass production, leaving the original beauties behind. In the early 1900s, cabinet enclosures and even flip-top sewing machine tables were made, followed by various changes that lead to today's plastic models.<br /> <br /> The original models from the mid to late 1800s and are in good condition, can easily fetch thousands of dollars for heavy sewing machine enthusiasts. While condition is certainly a factor, antique Singer sewing machine value is more concerned with the year the machine was made, over the condition of the machine. That being said, the better condition a machine is, the more it is worth. A great year in great shape is what people are all looking for these days.<br /> <br /> Factors that may be considered in determining the value of your antique Singer sewing machine include decoration on the machine and whether it is older, with a one pedal treadle or two pedal treadles. In addition, if the machine is in working condition with all of the original parts, the value will rise substantially. To get information about your pre-1900 Singer sewing machine, you can contact the Singer manufacturer at 1-800-4-SINGER for a verbal appraisal and have your model type, serial number and wits ready. - 30408</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Visit for more information on <a target='_blank' href="http://portablesewingmachines.info/sewingmachines/">sewingmachines</a> and <a target='_blank' href="http://heavydutysewingmachines.info/singer-heavy-duty-sewing-machine/">Singer heavy duty sewing machines</a>. </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14855785523899272443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944560560679070850.post-34876185465108496252009-12-28T04:26:00.001-08:002009-12-28T04:26:49.643-08:00Why An Embroidery Machine Is So Useful?<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Andy Zain</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'>Embroidery has been around for decades and has continued to be one of the fashion design worlds, most needed necessity.

These 3 items will give you an idea on the different factors and attributes of certain types of fabrics. From different colors, designs, and patterns to versatility and durability you will have a better understanding of what is available.<br /> <br /> 1. Being able to have a versatile fabric is important if you are considering doing more than one or two projects with the same style. An example of a versatile upholstery would be chenille material because it can be used for so many different things like making bed skirts, dress skirts, blouses, and even designer handbags.<br /> <br /> 2. Having many different textures, patterns, and colors available for a certain fabric is important as well because you don't want to be forced to just pick something and live with it. Once again we can use chenille or even tapestry upholstery for examples. Each has many variations in patterns, textures, colors and they both can be used for several types of projects.<br /> <br /> 3. Durability is a key factor if you are doing some sort of bigger project that needs to last a long time. Upholstering a couch, chair, or even a mobile home can be a large chore and one that you want to last. Commercial upholstery materials are durable and again tapestry can be thrown in the mix with the most durable of fabrics.<br /> <br /> Knowing what type of fabric you need for your particular project makes the selection process much easier. Now that you have an idea of what is on the market from versatile fabrics to ones with more durability you can narrow your search down. Also remember when it comes to upholstery fabrics and their uses it is important to have a variety to choose from too. - 30408</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>When searching for upholstery fabrics like the durable <a target='_blank' href="http://www.squidoo.com/tapestryupholsteryfabric">Tapestry Upholstery Fabric</a> many businesses and everyday people continue to shop online at InWeave Fabrics.

From different colors, styles, weights, and designs to knowing which fabrics are versatile and which ones are durable these 3 listed items will give you a better understanding.<br /> <br /> 1. If you are not exactly sure all the different projects you'll be working on or if you know you need to cover a wide range of sewing or stitching jobs then having a versatile fabric is very important. An example would be any type of chenille fabric. Chenille can be used for clothes such as designer handbags, fashionable bed covers and skirts, and also larger upholstering projects.<br /> <br /> 2. When choosing what fabric you will use having a larger selection of styles, designs, textures, and patterns is better than less, right? Of course not all types of upholstery fabrics can have a huge variety of choices but many can. So if you have a complex or creative mind than you might want to choose within the variety of choices from fabrics like tapestry or chenille fabrics.<br /> <br /> 3. So what if you are working on a larger project like for instance reupholstering an entire mobile home or camper? What if you are recovering couches and chairs? If you have a bigger project that calls for long lasting upholstery you want a material with durability! A couple of popular heavier weight upholstering materials are tapestry and commercial fabrics.<br /> <br /> So by knowing if you need a versatile material or one that can withstand wear and tear you now have a good idea on what to look. Don't forget about all the upholstery fabrics and their uses when you can have a variety of colors and designs to choose from too.

Whether you have a small or large designing or sewing project you will have some insight on the importance of fabric versatility and durability as well the importance of being able to mix and match with different clothing.<br /> <br /> 1. When trying to choose a good material for your clothing project one of the most important qualities of a fabric is its versatility and its ability to be mixed and matched with other materials. One of the most popular clothing fabrics which meets these important criteria is any type of velvet. With many colors, designs, and textures it has been used for many costumes, vests, jackets, and skirts. Give velvet a shot.<br /> <br /> 2. Depending on what type of clothing you are wanting to make and depending on when you will be wearing your new clothes you may want to check out some type of specialty fabrics like a denim or camouflage materials. These of course won't mix well with a lot of other clothing pieces because they aren't as versatile as the other fabric designs and textures. Deciding if you want a more versatile or specific fabric is important.<br /> <br /> 3. Can you get a good price for your budget and still get the material you need to complete your project properly? If you are just making a couple of items like some pants, a vest, or even a simple skirt then cost may not be a huge deal but if you are planning on making several pieces it is something to consider. Make sure the supplier can offer discounts and have enough of your particular fabric in stock for you to finish your clothing.<br /> <br /> From having a versatile fabric to knowing what type of project your working on for your clothing needs so you know what price to look for these 3 tips have covered some main topics.

Answers To Your Sewing Feet Questions<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Kevin Brown</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'>What is the inch sewing foot good for ? That's a good question and here's a good answer. The inch foot was invented to make work less intensive and more fun. In the old days the sewer would have to labor intensivly measure and tape off all seams.Today, the inch foot gives a precise inch seam with very little effort.<br /> <br /> Place your sewing machine on a straight stitch, use an 80/12 needle and a quality cotton thread. Place your foot on the edge of the fabric and sew, your result will be a perfect seam allowance.<br /> <br /> Join the two pieces of fabric together simply by keeping the edge of the fabric along the edge of the inch foot. The distance from the edge of the foot to the center of the needle is inch. Making turns are no problem as the foot has red markers on it so you know just when to stop sewing and pivot to make your turn.<br /> <br /> The inch foot is great for bag making and sewing patchwork squares, the more you use the inch foot the more you like it!<br /> <br /> Remember! The inch sewing foot is also a straight stitch foot so any use of a zig zag stitch will break needles!<br /> <br /> Having the right sewing feet for the job gives a professional result, saves time and frustration! Precision projects all the time not just some of the time.<br /> <br /> Mixing and matching out of the ordinary fabric can achieve outstanding and beautiful results, even novice sewers can get incredible results with very little effort. Patchwork can often turn into an obbession that leads into a life time hobby.<br /> <br /> The 6mm or inch foot also has markings for the 1/8 inch seam allowance. Some people prefer to crazy quilt, this method is great for someone who does not want to fuss with corners and straight lines.<br /> <br /> Better tools give better results! The inch sewing presser foot is the better tool! - 30408</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Desire additional information regarding all of the varieties of <a target='_blank' href="http://www.mrvacandmrssew.com/distinctive-1-4-quiltingsewing-machine-presser-foot-w-free-shipping-p-335.aspx">sewing machine foot</a> styles, and exactly which <a target='_blank' href="http://www.mrvacandmrssew.com">sewing foot </a> is best appropriate to your specific situation?
