    Great video and I love that you tried it on. I haven’t seen anyone else on UA-cam do that. It’s good that you did so you could make those adjustments. Just a question tho, how did you go fitting into it with the negative ease? I love that you pinned the top on the neck part with the sponge in place. It makes sense and looks easier than working on it flat, same for the armhole treatment. Good idea to modify the neck angle as well. ❤

    I have used all those feet ecept for the Teflon foot. At this point I don't make garments for me with zippers or buttons due to arthritis, it is difficult to fasten, but I never though of using the buttonhole foot for making holes forpull st rings - DUH Of course with the zipper foot, I can still use it for zippered bags, etc. I do use a 1/4" quilting foot since I piece a lot of quilts. Thank you.

      Tammy, you can find YT videos on just about every technique in sewing that is out there, including how and why to use certain presser feet. I learned to sew on a Singer machine that was older than me. It only sewed straight stitches! To make buttonholes my mom attached some gadget to the machine that made the zigzag stitches for the sides of a buttonhole. Now I sew on a Janome Skyline S9 which bunches of feet that I haven't used yet.Take your time and have fun and ignore people urging you to make things to sell for money!

    Could not agree more. I am a seamstress/quilter these last 52 years. I have around 6 feet I use for garment sewing and 2 for quilting. I do not need to spend $16k for a machine to quilt (straight line) or applique (blanket stitch). My old Pfaff and Bernina does all. Just my opinion. Cheers

    Great demonstration. May I ask that you go a little more slowly in your explanations.. for example exactly how do you line up the red line with horizontal markings. Do you use the same thread as you do for your project? Many thanks.. I am returning g to dressmaking after a long hiatus. Have subscribed to follow all of your tutorials. Many thanks.

    • @dartandsew

      Line up the horizontal line(bar) you drew with the red line on the presser foot. The color of thread is really an aesthetic choice I like to match mine to blend with the fabric.

      I just marked it on top of the old one (i took the easy way out). I didn't take out the old seams so as not to throw off the rest of the placements. You can't see the old seam note unless you get really close.

    Any suggestions on where to find an all-purpose sewing foot - straight and zig-zag - for what seems to be a vintage machine? Got it online at an auction but it has no presser feet that I can use for regular sewing. It’s a TWI Machine, model 1430 and the presser feet are the kind you screw on. Any tips appreciated. 🙏🏻 Thanks.

    • @l.1273
      @l.1273 2 роки тому

      Helen, if where you live has a sewing machine repair shop they often carry presser feet for any number of machines. A good fabric shop will also have presser feet. Amazon carries quite a large selection. You can look up your brand and model number and find out what kind of shank you have and so then will know what kind of feet will fit that shank. If you have a Kenmore model number 1430, an older (1970’s) metal based machine you found yourself a solid workhorse. If that is what you purchased you can search UA-cam for, ‘Kenmore Strong all metal sewing machine model 1430 Made in Japan’ for a nice overview.

      @@l.1273 Thank you so much for your informative response. Sorry, I didn’t mention that it has no brand name - strange. However, I see on the backside that it was made in Taiwan, for TWI Machines Inc, as well as the model #: 1430, 115V, 80W. I googled for info but found only one reference from someone with the same machine, different model, who was also seeking info on it. I didn’t know how to contact that person. I saw another machine that looked similar, can’t remember the brand, maybe Kenmore. Yes, I have seen sources for presser feet but the question is, are there generic/international types of feet? Would say a Singer foot work just as well? Thanks for your time and assistance. 🙏🏻

    • @l.1273
      @l.1273 2 роки тому

      @@VMCT-2023 Yes, there are universal or generic types of feet but...you will need to know what type of shank you have. Search for, 'how to tell the shank type of a sewing machine' and you will find an article explaining what to look for. For example my Singer 4423 has a low shank, so I can buy generic feet (which I have done) that will fit low shank machines (there are high shank machines and other machines that will only take presser feet designed especially for them - fussy girls those!). As for machine identification, a good sewing machine repair shop will be able to tell you. But if that isn't available then try doing a search online, 'how to search by image on Google'. This is a rather nifty means of using a photograph of an image to find other photographs of similar images in order to identify something. For example I have taken a photo of a plant I wanted to identify and then found out the name, or a flower or bird, car, etc. Take a good clear photo (from the side of the machine I think would be best), as close as you can to include as much detail as you can and still keep the full machine in the image and then try inputting that into the Google images search page. That will hopefully bring up other images like your own and if lucky one will look the same and clicking on it might reveal the name of the machine, or at least some other details that might get you closer to identifying it. It's a rather fun way to do a bit of sleuthing when dealing with a mystery object. Good luck!

      @@VMCT-2023 I did a quick search and discovered a company in Dublin TWI Fabric and Machine that sold sewing machines. One other thing I can mention is that in the late 70's and onward many machines switched over to plastic bodies and some plastic parts inside. Prior to that they were mostly metal. So you might get a rough idea of how old it is by what it is made of though that isn't entirely precise it would be a rough starting point in gathering information.
