I started sewing around first grade when my grandma and mom taught me how to thread a needle and make clothes for my dolls. As I got older they taught me to follow a pattern and instilled a love for sewing that will always be with me and my sisters. Now I hope to share that love and inspire others to create their own masterpieces. I hope you will subscribe and find some inspiration.

In this video I'll show you how to add a loop that you can wear as a bracelet and dance with the train, or simply hook it up to the back of the dress to keep it out of...

I so enjoy the way you're explaining the process. Thanks for so many detailed insights into your pattern making and the software. Keep going the great work. Best, Henriette
I can’t see i the result
Thanks for this, not the most professional approach but at least you mentioned armhole gets bigger so sleeve too small.
Brilliant, thank you. I am going to try it.
I have an old new home 532 and I have tried to thread the bobbin case and I can’t get it to work! Is this something you could help me with please? Thank you!
Show the opposite side .
Thank you for this video! I have this machine as well but it's missing the bobbin case and I'm having a hard time figuring out which bobbin style to get as a replacement. Any chance you know?
Worked perfectly, thank you
I'm so glad to hear it!
This was awesome. I just set up my mom's old machine, this is so dead simple to use once I understand it!
This was very helpful. I have been sewing for many years and this was always a challenge. I am starting my own home business doing alterations and this part was my greatest fear. Not anymore 🎉
this would be a perfect project for your juki industrial sewing machine if need to do any sewing on the leather bag zipper 😊
hello very nice if you find a pair of jeans you need to heam please kindly film heaming jeans using this juki industrial sewing machine and film threading it and winding a bobbin video while heaming the jeans and does it have a servo motor ? 😊
hello very nice industrial sewing machine do you still have it?😊
Yes I do! It's an incredible machine. I love Juki
hello very beautiful sewing machine very nice video please kindly film how to operate the sewing machine electric foot pedal how its used to sew please kindly let me know ok?thank you very much.
Hi! Is your electric foot pedal still attached? You should just be able to push down on it. If it's mounted to the sewing table, some of them have an extra bar that folds up, and if you fold the bar down you can push with your knee against it instead of putting it on the floor and stepping on it.
Thank you for this information. I just bought this machine. What should the tension be set on?
Nice video. Ty
Very soothing voice!
I wish the audio was clearer when on the computer. I have such a hard time hearing your audio.
The "belt" for the bobbin, as you call it, is actually the bobbin tyre, (or tire if you're in the US); same as the bobbin winding mechanism on many old Singers. Not sure what's happening with the lighting in this video. Most of it is very dark and hard to see anything, then suddenly there's perfect bright light then dark again. I've just seen a machine for sale near me here in Oz exactly the same as this one, badged as a Thomson Super DeLuxe. Might go and check it out. Thanks for the video🙂👍Looks like a great little machine.
I’m really glad you did this, it’s helped a lot.. I just have one question about the sleeve cap, how do you know it is going to fit the arm hole? Or do you have to walk the pattern piece to check it?
My layout looked fine but when I printed I had some pieces not matching and some pieces printed twice. Do you think it is tracing problem? It all seemed good on in details.
Is seamly any different that valentina. I tried Valentina and stumbled on so many problems, errors and other things that I am ready to give up trying to learn to computer draft. It drives me crazy to follow instructions closely but get some crappy errors. Maybe I should just load Seamly instead.
So, they used to be the same thing and then the 2 creators split paths and divided it into valentina and seamly. Seamly has done a lot of updates and changes since then. Hope this helps!
@@ReadyEmKayThank you. I switched to Seamly right after I wrote that and I was able to do what I have planned successfully. Pattern is ready, now I need to figure out a better layout for printing. Seems to be tricky ...Perhaps needs exporting to another app? Hope not...If you can give me please some tips how to go about setting up the layout and printing ...one more thanks for your kind reply.
Many thanks for doing these videos! Please do more!
Thanks!!
thank you for this clip, i just bought on exactly like it do you have any other videos on that machine
I don't have any other videos on this specific machine. This was one my husband fixed for someone. Is there anything specific you want to learn on it?
I have problems with adding details when you need to add something curvy using arc or curve...it is for some reason very difficult to grab the entire shape. Would you have any tips. Could you please create another tutorial.
Yes. Give me about a week to put some together and edit to post them
Can you load different measurements into the ready pattern to get a pattern for somebody else?
Yes! That's why I switched to these digital patterns.
one could expect a circle skirt to be easy to draft....I would definitely do it faster with a pencil and paper or...in fact drawing on the fabric and cut...mix 10 mins and I am ready to sit at the the machine.
Yes, you are completely right. The time to switch to digital is if you're doing lots of circle skirts for other people and the whole pattern changes itself as soon as I take their measurements. So long term it saves a lot of time, but otherwise definitely easier on paper.
Okaaay, good for you honey. Why on God's green earth you decide to comment that on a digital pattern tutorial is anyone's guess, but then I really don't wanna dive deep into that mind of yours, goodness knows what's in there if you think you can draw better circle by hand than a computer.
My wife used did this to my daughter's pants and she absolutely loves them. Keep the videos coming.
Your husband's a lucky man.
I could watch your videos all day!
Can you also grade patterns?
So, the software claims that you can. I have never been able to figure it out, but am always messing with it. If I ever get it to work I will tag you in the video so you can use it as well.
Having plotter is really helpful but what do you think about buying a projector and have the pattern projected straight on the fabric?
Great idea! When you set the pattern up for printing, I would recommend adding a grainline arrow onto each pattern at the correct angle to cut on, and you can make it exactly any length you choose. That way when you project it into the pattern you can move the projector closer/further from the fabric until the projected line is the correct length. I'd love to know how it goes!
I have all sewing how can I
Great videos, thanks
Fabulous pattern and very well explained video. Thank you so much😊
You are welcome 😊
Brilliant tutorials - thank you! Any advice about creating a pattern 'piece'/ workpiece which looks fine and the list of points looks okay but when viewing the pattern piece the armhole ends up as a straight line? I've been driving myself crazy with it but still no joy.
how to fix a curve that is showing up as a straight line in CAD pattern making
If this is not the problem you're having you might have to send me a picture or video of what's going on 😊
It Works!!! I was following a CZcams video by an Aussie lady and clicking exactly where she was but it just didn't work. Re-watched yours and it was as simple as going around but not clicking back on the origin point (which she was doing). Why hers worked but mine didn't....who can say. My armhole is now looking great and ready to print. Thanks again - really enjoyed your detailled tutorial. Just need to get drafting some more menswear for myself now. @@ReadyEmKay
Genuinely so smart. ✌️ 💛 🌞
Thanks!!
Hi, Thanks for the tutorial. I have access to a plotter that can print using paper size A0, A1. I am just wondering what settings I should choose to print the whole pattern on a single A1 paper sheet as my pattern fits A1 and I hate tiled patterns because of extra work I need to do?
how to print a CAD file for specific printer plotter sizes for pattern making
The biggest thing will be when you save the file, change the drop down file type to pdf or svg, and make sure it is NOT on pdf tile. Hope this helps! 😊
@@ReadyEmKay thank you! I just changed the setting to the roll 36 inch and it worked.
Great job, I have a beautiful gown but I was so afraid to wear because of the train, thanks for sharing 💕Happy Holidays
I'm glad it was helpful 😊 Happy Holidays!
Thank you for sharing. The loop is a brilliant idea! Beautifully finished.
One error. The thread goes through the needle from left to right, not right to left. This way --------> . I have this machine with the original manual.
Hi thanks for the tutorial, I was wondering if theres a way that I can change colors on the pattern lines when they print out? Thanks in advance! :)
Hi, sorry for the wait, I've been trying to figure it out. I cannot find any way to make the color change stay when you go to print. It only changes in the draw portion. I will keep looking around and seeing what I can find, and if I can figure out a way I will update the comment response.
Your tutorials are great! Thank you!
Glad you like them!
Aw man I’m trying so hard to make this dress for my niece but was hoping to make the skirt floor length! I bought 60” wide fabric and followed the instructions but once folded up it equals 29” which is the length I hoped the skirt to be! So when I cut the triangle corner it’s a tiny circle 😂 I’m not sure if there’s anything I can do to make this work? For it to be floor length
Thanks This program will save a lot of time. I am editing my sloper patterns.
There is something you can buy at any store that sells sewing notions which is called a bodkin. The bodkin is used specifically to scoot through a tube of fabric to bring a string or unfold
Yes i love bodkins!! I got my first few about a year after this video. I like tube turners even more for chunky straps though
Can you make a video on multiSize , or how to use that feature
Thank you so much for this video, you have no Idea how much i needed it
I'm so glad it was helpful!
Muchas gracias por el vídeo 😊👍 Yo también, tengo que tener paciencia para probar con distintos tamaños de papel, para que las piezas puedan ordenarse mejor y no se desperdicie mucho papel. 😅
