Goldaline, your poo poo rocks, I like the tunnel dress. I have a question about embroidery.. how hard is it to transfer a really random asymmetrical image into an embroidered one on a sweater? Are there online tutorials to learning embroidery?

Goldaline posted:And for embroidery, I've always found tracing paper is amazing. Trace your pattern, tape the tracing paper to the fabric, and stitch through both it and the fabric. Then tear away the tracing paper. Woo.

Cross, my old boss used to work in soft goods/bag manufacturing and used *I THINK* solidworks or rhino to unfold 3d patterns into 2d.

Is there a tutorial online that demonstrates how weird sewing feet work? The bernina I inherited has a ton of feet that came with it and the manual I found for it online is really tiny, pixelated and unhelpful.

These would be original with the machine which is 60's. Is Threads available online? edit- preferably looking for online tutorials as I'm broke getting woodturning supplies..

Wow, meche, beautiful! Question about POWAH.. my bernina is fine for most tailoring jobs on a pair of jeans except when I'm doing cuffs and hit the area where its a seam double onto itself so theres who knows.. 6? 8 layers of denim? It won't always punch through. Do I just need a high power machine or should I go slow, change needle, etc?

A few weeks ago I got a Singer Merrittlock 14u44 serger at a garage sale for  . I was so excited I didn't check it out enough and when I did, it looked like there was some rust, so I sadly brought it into the singer distributor in Chicago who is actually really cool. 50$ basic maintenance later I had a bunch of new needles, new lower knife, a pedal control (didnt come w/) and a working machine!I got this because I want to alter a bunch of old punk/hardcore/psych band tshirts I've collected that don't fit me, but the stitches are driving me a little crazy. I practiced on a throwaway and came really close, then did a pretty good job on my first one. My problem is doing the hems, I think the stitch I see on all my tshirts is done on a machine I don't have, I thought a serger covered it all but I'm pretty sure I'm wrong. I can get close, and it works, I just was hoping to copy whatever was on my commercial shirts. I know thats a bit short sighted. Are there any good projects to do on a serger for dudes? I am a total sewing novice. I'd like to do short sleeve button ups and dress shirts eventually but I don't think I'm there. I should probably take lessons, the Singer place has em but they're mostly quilting.

Found it. I need a "coverhem" machine or a serger that does coverhem. Doh. Totally different than serger. Ended up using the serger to accomplish what I wanted, sort of a fake coverhem Not an Anthem fucked around with this message at 00:26 on Jul 2, 2012 |

Anyone take (or know of people who take) commissions to replicate a piece? I have a Uniqlo japan only collaboration piece that is awesome, but I want a copy of it in this high tech sail cloth I have a bunch of. There are a few details that aren't necessary to copy or would be impossible without the machines, but the basic form/collar/sleeves/cuffs definitely.

Goldaline posted:Madlilnerd--Great quilt! It reminds of me of traditional japanese indigo quilts. I bet it's super heavy and cozy too. Awesome stuff as usual. Where would I get started making shirts like that?
