    I have a computerized machine with an LED panel, and one day my machine started back stitching at the start of every seam and I couldn't figure out why. Well, apparently it's a feature on the screen you can click on and off. I was amazed, it saves me time now. Shock

    I agree with Cat. It all depends on what type of fabric you are using and if the needle is made for that type of fabric. For canvas weight, or multiple layers of fabric (like when sewing up a handbag) I use a size 100/16 needle. For quilting cotton with just 2 layers a 80/12 will work just fine. Let me know if this helps. Happy

    I just went to my first craft show, and it was a disasster, I didn't sell anything. So, I came home and started doing research on how I can do better next time.
    One common thing most articles had was that I need a show stopping product to get the "browsers" attention so that they come over to my booth. However, I've been racking my brain all day and I can't think of anything.

    I sell handbags, wallets, and other accessories just so you know what categories I'm thinking in.

    Please, give me some suggestions on what to make for this item because I am at a loss.


    Thanks in advance Happy

    I think I'll do a combination of journal entries, pictures, and sewing since I tend to have a short attention span.
