    For whatever reason, I think consolidating two shops into one is a great idea. I hope you get super comfy and happy there. Your shop has everything, and I’m glad you have so many nice and necessary things to use for your business.

    Have been a subscriber for a while now, Just found this video. Couple questions: what is that chalk you showed that is thin but breaks easily. please can you let me know the brand name or show a picture of it. Secondly, I have the colored chalk, how do you keep it thin, after been using for a while it make a fat line. Thanks for your videos. I am doing alterations out of my home. Not tons of work but I am happy.

    I've really been enjoying your videos. They have been so helpful for me. I've been trying so hard to figure out what type of chalk you use. Mine just doesn't work as well as yours. I kept pausing the video trying to get a good look, and it looks like maybe its Carmel brand? If it is Carmel brand they have 2 different types. One is wax chalk and the other is clay chalk. Which one do you use??

    • @DowntownTailoring

    I noticed you do not have a coverstitch machine. I find that I am doing more and more knit hemming on clothing. How do you coverstitch customers clothing? Are you using a double needle? Are you considering getting one? I find the Janome 1000 cpx is working well for me as I do not have room for an industrial coverstitch machine. I am falling in love with the Jack industrials and would love having one but it is not to be.

    • @DowntownTailoring
      @DowntownTailoring  3 роки тому

      Thanks so much for your comment. You are absolutely right. I'm short. I've been able to manage without the coverstitch by doing double stitches, etc. But is not the same. I'm somewhat limited in what I can produce. Sometimes I just feel that I don't have time to hunt for a good one, that's why your recommendation is so well received 😊 Thanks so much!

      @@DowntownTailoring I have the Janome 1000 cpx which is the same as the 2000 cpx except for cosmetic changes. They now have come out with the 3000 which does the reverse coverstitch but more expensive but has been getting great reviews from those who have one. There is a learning curve to getting any of the mid priced machines but with your experience you would pick it up quickly. I have been sewing for over 50 yrs. and have my small home alteration business and I am finding I can not live without it as I am getting more and more knits that saves me so much time with this machine. I love the more professional stretch stitch that it offers. It also has a wide harp space and I like that feature. It is easy to thread and works pretty well with the default settings on most everything. People complain about skipped stitches but if one has correct needles for the fabric and use the pressure control knob it never fails me. Join a group and they will trouble shoot your problems while learning and you will pick up on it quickly. It also has a binding attachment which you might also like but expensive. The generic ones work just as well. I was using the double needle but found it took to much time setting it up for projects. You will wonder how you lived without one once you get one. I just found your videos and you have taken on some projects I would not dream of doing although I know I could do them. I have even picked up a few new techniques from you. I have another favorite Utube alteration person and it is Judith Turner and followed her for several years. Unfortunately she passed away but you might enjoy her videos. I am working on watching your entire collection and look forward to new ones.
