Hi @caroljohnson , there’s a nice blog post about lengthening patterns here:
Use the grain line as it’s marked on the pattern to ensure that you spread your pattern pieces evenly. It doesn’t matter whether it’s the cut on the grain or on the bias when you lay…[Read more]

Thank you for your reply.
I’ve only just started, but unfortunately I’ve got a little stuck. I’m increasing the bodice length by 1 & 1/4″ along the lengthening line. I’ve never done this before & according to my sewing book & everything I read, I should keep the grainline straight through the separated pieces, but if I do this the seam lines are…[Read more] -

Sounds like an issue for a repair person. I’m sure they can fix it easily.

For the newer Liesl + Co. patterns, there is a printing guide on page 3 that tells you which pages are the A0 pages. You can upload the file and tell the printer to just print those pages. Or if you want to separate them out and send just the A0 pages instead of the whole file, you can use this free tool to do that.

This was my first time buying a pdf pattern and I’m confused as to how to send the file for large scale printing. Other pdf patterns I’ve gotten have separate files for A4, A0, etc. How do I upload just the A0 pages to my online large-scale printing business? When I try to do it it uploads all 51 pages and says its 8×11.
Sorry for being such…[Read more] -

Shiva kumar started the topic Singer 2250: zig zag stitch prob in the forum off topic 4 months ago
Hi friends,
I have a singer tradition 2250 model sewing machine. This has stopped sewing zig zag stitches, it stitches in plain fashion instead of zig zag. I can clearly see the needle moving to the left and right and penetrating the fabric, but the needle again pulls back the thread from the fabric while zig zag. What could be the issue, have…[Read more]

Marty Kattleman started the topic Rolled Hemmer Foot for Jeans in the forum off topic 4 months ago
I am trying to find a rolled hemmer foot for my Kenmore sewing machineg. I see rolled feet on Aliexpress that are from 3, to 10 mm. Would the 10 mm be sufficient for standard blue jeans. Or is there a specific brand or model that I should look out for?
Thanks in advance, or behind, if you forgot to set your clocks.
Marty

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Belgravia dress – sizing question in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 4 months ago
I think you’d probably be ok choosing a size 10 and maybe reducing the width at the hips if you find that you need it. Its something you can do after you’ve sewn it if you want. Just turn the dress inside out, pin the hips to be as narrow as you want, and re-sew them. Regarding the height, it depends on where you are tall. I’m 5’8″ and long…[Read more]

Carol J started the topic Belgravia dress – sizing question in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 4 months ago
I’m about to sew a dress & use a knit fabric for the very first time with the Belgravia dress pattern. I’m uncertain which size to choose. The body measurements put me as bust size 10, waist size 12 & hip size 6. With it being a knit fabric would I be OK to pick just one size – I’m thinking size 10 (by my bust size) or should I consider grading…[Read more]
