What Sarvi said. You should be able to create a thread within a forum, but the main page we see when we are logged in is recent posts and the each forum. I can’t post on the main page, but can start posts within a certain pattern’s forum/offtopic etc.

I see that too, but if I go to one of the subfora, I get the compose window there. Possibly it’s just set up to prevent you from accidentally creating a new topic in the wrong place?

Ooh @vothgirl I love that! Thanks for the tip! I am going to try it out on my very next pair.

Side note – is anyone else having the same trouble as me with the forums? I still can’t start topics – at the bottom where the compose window usually is on the main forums page, it just says “you cannot create a topic.”

@RTWG, one of the issues of Seamwork magazine had a leggings pattern with a petal cuff (similar to the sleeve on the fairy tale dress). I loved the look – perhaps it would allow for some variety but stick with the easy-to-sew factor of a cuff?

And I really want a coverstitch machine! I love my serger, but I despise sewing on my old machine with knits. So I basically avoid patterns I need to hem. Which is a lot.

Just a quick peep to send out hugs where they may be needed! (Jay/Masha and anyone else HUGS!!)

Thanks for all the tips.

In the meantime now someone in the house was trying to be helpful with the laundry and put it in the wash and dryer, so I guess that is done 🙂 The good news is it shrunk only a tiny bit so it still fits the smaller one just fine. And it did seem to soften up.

I am new to the discussion posts, but I have posted a few photos to FLickr (Linusknits)of recent (and not so recent) creations. I am currently sewing a badminton dress as a nightgown, based upon recent recommendation in a discussion thread. I spent an hour researching vintage patterns, then came upon a recent threat about summer night gowns. I am…[Read more]

@roundtheworldgirl I bumped up an old thread that might help.
But, yeah, I want a coverstitch machine.

Bumping up this thread…

1. Woolly Nylon in the bobbin
2. Having a second bobbin casing with tension backed way off so the bobbin thread really does zig zag fully
3. Using the walking foot to get over side seam bumps

None of that means I don’t want…[Read more]
