If my sewing machine says it takes “commerical size 69″ thread will I not be able to use my Coats and Clark?

Friday, September 11th, 2009

I’m looking to buy a sewing machine that will sew denim. The machine I want to buy won’t accept “size 92″. I actually hadn’t been aware that thread HAD sizes until this point. I have a pretty vast collection of polyester coats and clark and cotton gutterman threads. Will I be able to use these? I can’t find a “size” for them online.

How do I make a teddybear with my sewing machine?

Thursday, August 6th, 2009

I have 3 questions:

1. How do I get the teddy bear to have those “roundish” features?
2. How do I get the nose to puff out like a dome?
3. What kind of fabrics would be best at a reasonable price to make one?

Thanx for any help! (Please don’t comment if you don’t have a answer)

The viking 6570 doesn’t have any obvious mounting instructions or brackets or holes. Anyone know if I can mount it at all on a fold away style cabinet? THanks.

Is it true that you can sew garments with some kind of glue instead of binding the pieces by sewing?

Saturday, August 1st, 2009

Can you really use glue to create clothing, to attach the pieces together in place of thread?

How well does the glue work, and how long can it last or stay?
