Yeah, it’s pretty much sewing boards or nowhere.
My mom did have an iron, and I drove over to her house to borrow it. I think she got it as a wedding present. It comes from the land before safety features. Fabric flattens itself in fear before it, though. I think we’ll get along just fine until it shorts out too, or I accidentally burn the house…[Read more]

I have a Rowenta I use dry with a spray bottle.
When I saw this topic, first I said oh no! Then I laughed, giggled even. Where else on earth does someone post about a dead iron and get sympathy?!

My kids wear interlock at night and our house is about 65f at night.
I have 6 in a clutches in production. I am doing it assembly line style. I love that little bag. I have 4 done and my closest friend wants 10 for gifts.
I’m suddenly feeling holiday pressure. But we’re accelerated because we are going on vacation from 12/15-12/20. Yikes!

I would suspect they’re looking at the page size of a page OTHER than the last page. You shouldn’t need to do anything to that pattern sheet except print it as is.
From all reports the ease of printing at a copy shop depends entirely on the staff member who serves you.
Good luck -

i went to staples to print the full pattern sheet on 36″ paper. the clerk said the sheet was 8.5 x 11. Is it supposed to print to the correct size without enlarging, or does the clerk have to enlarge it?

Oh no @jwo
I made Trixie a gorgeous white Hopscotch nightie yesterday which will stay pristine as I used a too firmer knit and it won’t go over her head.
Le sigh. -

I love flannelette pj’s. Amy Butler flannel is amazing. I have some jammies that are onto their third owner.
I finished Beatrix’s ‘go’ on my rota, on to Matilda, starting with a Jumprope school dress.

I love my (two) Tefal irons. They get nice and hot with lots of steam. I kill irons and this brand has lasted the longest.

Oh @jwo what a bummer. The skirt I saw on Instagram was awesome. I’m sure you’ve applied for extensions on work before, right? 😉

I’m in the middle of the shirt.
We just worked out the holiday budget, so this is not a good time for me to run out and pick up a new iron. I’m hoping I can borrow one from my mom. If she even has one. I left a message on her phone.
Does anyone want to recommend a reasonably priced, highly effective iron that might be on sale after the holidays?

About a month ago, I was sewing and my needle got stuck and wouldn’t come up. The needle broke in the bobbin mechanism. Thankfully it was an easy fix by the shop.
But I am back in the sewing saddle and cross my fingers I haven’t done anything truly stupid!! :).
