Jaimielaura, I’ve only just got back into sewing again after a two year absence (and I’d only had the coverstitcher a couple of months before I went on hiatus). It can be a bit temperamental compared to a sewing machine or overlocker, with fabric thickness being the main area of fussiness. You do need to test your fabric prior to use and fiddle…[Read more]

Thankyou ladies! This one will have mummy made things from day one.

I did the buttonholes and the buttons on the little white bubble this morning before the usual Saturday run around (and I was treated to lunch by the hubby as a belated birthday and a thanks to our worker for helping this harvest which incidentally has quite completed for us). So…[Read more]

Ooh. We might need the keymaster to officiate. The time gives it to Cybele but mine appeared first…. Weird space/time wormhole in the forum?!
Run with whichever you prefer, or both perhaps…

You’d never believe it, I swear
But I’m sewing a bikini to wear
To swim at the pool

Thanks everyone! I purchased the Janome 1000 CPX this afternoon and cannot wait to try it out! Very excited!!

You’d never believe it, I swear
The seams that I stitch never tear

You’d never believe it, I swear
But I’m sewing a bikini to wear

I can’t wait to see the bubble dresses. This little one will be styling. What a blessed baby she will be. One day closer and out of the hospital.
I am working on a pair of jammies for little girl to wear for “Wear Pajamas to School Day”. They have pandas on them and she is excited.

Tamara, she will have the most beautiful wardrobe!
I’ve been making some fabric butterfly ornaments to give as gifts. https://www.flickr.com/photos/73669617@N07/15929695546/in/pool-sewlisette
I’ve also been sewing another explorer vest is a beautifully plush burgundy courduroy. I just hope it’s masculine enough as I’m running out of Christmas…[Read more]

I also have the Janome 1000cpx. I use it at least once a week. I love having separate machines so they can be set up ready to go all the time and I can swap from one to the other half way through a project 🙂
I really like the extra room in the harp of the Janome. There has been multiple times when I’ve been very glad it’s there. I also use…[Read more]

Jaimielaura: I recently bought a Janome Coverpro 1000 CPX and love it. I’ve got several attachments to do elastic etc., but mostly only use it to do hems….which it does so professionally.
If you go to patternreview.com there is a section that reviews coverstitch machines so you can read what owners have to say.

It is raining outside today
A perfect chance to fabric play
With patterns and trim
The chances are slim
I’ll be cooking or cleaning — Hooray!

You’d never believe it, I swear
