Morning Alex, loved your sew along. When I’m sewing I have my garment facing the way you do. I find it easier to keep track of the extra fabric, so you don’t accidentally catch it underneath. Hopefully I’m explaining what I mean. Oh yes some major machine envy happening. Thank you so much for sharing and have a fabulous day. Val ❤️🇨🇦🇬🇧
@GingerheadCo4 жыл бұрын
Thank you Val 😊 I tend to sew wrong side up (and from the widest to the narrowest point and smaller piece up/inside) because the only proper course I had was for industrial sewing, but I think there's as many ways as there are people 😊 Whatever works best and makes us happy is the 'correct' way 😁 I'd probably be the most lenient teacher ever 😉 x

I had never thought I needed a cover stitch machine before, though I admired the look, this up close camera is very inspiring! I have NO space for another machine😢
@GingerheadCo4 жыл бұрын
Haha, I'm a bad influence! I don't think you need a coverstitch (though whether you want it is another matter 🤣) you can use your decorative stitches to do all the topstitching - even a zigzag looks nice 😁 I love machines, but I think people can create the most beautiful things with a basic machine (as long as it's got a good quality straight stitch 😊) x

Wow 🤩 that was a fast make. I’m so slow with a hundred pins 🙄😂. I’ve just had a cover stitch and found your channel in really enjoying it thank you 🥰 B🐝x
@GingerheadCo4 жыл бұрын
Thank you 😊 I move fast, I'm hyperactive (and pins are definitely not safe for me 🤣), but it is a good, relatively quick make (it probably takes under 2 hours even for someone who likes sewing slowly) x
@bridget91114 жыл бұрын
Gingerhead & Co yes I usually take about one and a half to two hours according to how well behaved the fabric is. 😀

I think that's about the right amount of time 😁 you can enjoy it enough but not get too bored or tired 😊 I like to make some projects last (though I do move rather fast 🤣)

I love the little t-shirt that you made and the fabric is just gorgeous too. I can't get over how quiet your overlocker is, my little Brother one is so noisy
@GingerheadCo4 жыл бұрын
Thank you Allison ♥️ and yes, it's my quietest machine (and I tend to buy quieter ones anyway), it is such a relief after some domestic overlockers (I actually have a brother overlocker, too 😘) it's pretty amazing, especially as it's a big, powerful beast 😁😁😁x

@@GingerheadCo I hope that it is easy to thread, I have a 30 year old Baby Lock and it is so hard to thread and to get needles for it and the needles are expensive too, so I cracked it and Spotlight had 50% off all Brother sewing machines so I just got that and I am happy with it. One day I will get the Juki 1000 that threads itself

@@Allycat3270 it's very difficult to thread 🤣🤣🤣 industrial machines are generally more difficult to thread 🤣 but so far I'm managing 😉 I'd keep the 30 yo babylock, if you have it serviced it will work 30 more years (at least), they were made to last. I love old babylocks 🤓🤓🤓
