Hello Felicity, Seen it now. You lucky gal! Very nice model 128. If you are making a quilt top use a seam guide to keep your seams even, and use felt under the guide so you don't damage those gorgeous decals. Love, Muv
Happy New Year! Thanks so much for sharing this technique with us. I love french seams, especially on my treadle machine. (Which I now have up and running beautifully thanks to you!)
sorry. It is on flikr too, under Bradandfliss. I am no use at the forwarding and connections thing. I was inspired by your video tutorial about how to mitre quilt corners to get a hand crank machine. I had borrowed a racy new Brother from a friend to wizz through a quilt top, but it went so fast, and was so nthat I found it a bit stressful. So the hand crank, ticking along at a walking pace is just perfect, and the sound it makes is very relaxing. Sewing should be therapeutic, I feel.
Hello Felicity, Glad you have enjoyed the video. Sorry, I can't find your machine on Pinterest, but you can always send me a message through UA-cam, I'm looking forward the hearing about your machine. All the best, Muv
I have so far only done the fabric not the wadding. Could my machine take the quilting foot? what about free motion quilting? I'd love to do that, but I have the long bobbin machine. Any advice? Kind regards Felicity
Another brilliant video tutorial from the Wunder Muv. How helpful and easy to follow. I am afraid I couldn't get in touch any other way than this, (as I'm not as computer savvy as I think) to ask may I write to you to tell you how I came about my 1913 Singer beauty that has changed my life?! I call it "The Legend". you can see it on Pinterest, under My sewing machine, by greenbutterflymind. Kind and respectful regards, Felicity Grover, Mother of Daisy.
Well it all depends. It's possible but tricky, and probably not worth the bother. I've done it years ago, but it is not a good idea because the fullness of the sleeve has to absorbed into the seam and can add too much bulk. If you want to enclose the raw edges the best thing to do is bind the seam, as shown here - lizzielenard-vintagesewing.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/a-dress-for-meg-5-bound-armhole-seams.html

Oh, that thing is a seam guide! Good to know, I was wondering, there was nothing about it in the manual of the old singer I bought :) thank you!
Your voice is silky soothing. What a voice!

Just split my French seams reading that one, Felicity. There will a brief halt at Leighton Buzzard for engineering works.
Happy New Year to you, Laura! Great news about the treadle! Muv
Stay so

did you use to do the announcements for British Rail? Your voice seems familiar!

When adding a sleeve with french seam into a garnment with french seams, how does that work?
