Thanks Sue! I cheat as I have all the machines really x x

Thank you so much Doreen x x

I agree, Lisa! Always seeing Ellie, too!

It is a really lovely book. I want to make the stretch dress at some point soon x

Thank you, I love it. To be honest I love making full stop. Thanks for watching x

I chose this one as it was £400 at the time. Much cheaper than all the others but still quite expensive. I bought it myself as a Christmas pressie. Link to the machines I used in the down bar x x

The cover stitch has the potential to use up to three needles but I only used two in this video. Yes I use the same thread on both machines, I just had to re thread it x x

Thanks Molly. It was from amazon, there is a link in the down bar to the product page x x

Hi George. Most of the shelves on the wall are kallax units from Ikea. The drawers under the desks and desks are all Ikea too. But I also have a wooden shelving unit with cupboards at the bottom that was from Argos I think. The selves with the cupboards at the bottom need a lick of paint at some point x

Ooh fab idea. I will put that on my list for next week x

Hi Anita. I do something that I have never seen in books or demos so it may be a bit naughty! I stitch around the neckline or whatever and run over where I have stitched at the beginning, then I make sure the needle is in the up position, lift the presser foot. Then I turn all the tension dials to 0 (make sure you remember what they are set on before you do this) then you can pull the thread away without having to stitch off the edge. Turn tension dials back. Put presser foot down and stitch a bit, just to get the machine working again. I will perhaps have to do a video tutorial of this to show you better x x

@@crafthousemagic I'm going to try that. Thank you, Ellie. It's great being able to get these helpful tips. The internet is great but you can spend hours looking for answers and get nowhere! X

I have a separate cover stitch and overlocker. I prefer it that way as I don’t have to convert it to do the different functions. I find using slightly thicker jersey it does not flick up as much and also using the coverstitch rather than twin needle or lightening stitch helps it keep flatter. I hope that helps x x

This one is pretty straightforward to thread for an over locker. Obviously it takes a while to thread all four but you get used to it. I have heard that some are very difficult to thread. To the point you have to remove the stitch plate to thread the lower loopers. This one isn’t anything like that! x

Craft House Magic thanks Ellie, when the lockdown has eased I’ll go and look at one. Forever helpful. Thanks.

I have never used an industrial overlocker but what I have seen they are quite similar. Obviously the industrial ones are more sturdy and made to last x

I just used the neckband from the Agnes so I don’t know. But I usually measure the distance around the neckline and subtract 10% if I don’t have a pattern piece (plus seam allowance of course) x

They are washers. I picked them up from eBay. I have a link to some similar in the down bar x
