I recently got a new Pfaff Passport 3.0. Whenever I set the straight stitch to the maximum stitch length (4.5) and then use the foot control pedal to raise/lower the needle, the machine will shut itself down and then power back up. The issue is intermittent, it goes away and comes back again with no pattern. There is no error shown on the display nor any other clue as to what the issue might be. Anyone has an idea what the problem is?
I am using an EU 2 pin to UK 3 pin adaptor, if that matters. I have tried other adaptors but still the same issue.
Hello here is a video of my issue. Just keeps clicking. https://youtube.com/shorts/JpCMX7-sYl8?si=abQX7F-K-HcLEfRB
Any ideas.
Thanks!
Does anyone know what the problem of my Liebersew LS-8700 (juki clone) motor making a clicking noise and not working. The motor is an Enduro Pro SM 600-1
Here is a video of the issue. Thanks!!
I'm trying to sew cosplay, and im unsure how to get the swirly designs on my bodice and sleeve pieces
how would you go about making this/adding this to the garment?
I have some curtains to replace in my home and I want to make a swag and jabot curtain. I have been watching a lot of the youtube videos by Scott Weaver and I would like to know where or how I can make a board that I can I can work on the swags pleats to get them right before sewing them. Here is a link to the board that he was selling but he doesn't sell them anymore. I could make one but not sure out of what. Any suggestions?
Recently tried to force my Brother 1034D serger through too much fabric (which I know not to do now) and broke it. Took it to my repair guy and he quoted me $130 to re-time it. Is that a fair price? I’m based in LA but not sure if that matters.
Hello! I am looking for advice on how to learn to use my new sewing machine to learn how to sew clothing (quickly, if possible). I am quite crafty and have experience hand sewing and making cosplays. I also learned when I was younger to alter clothes on an older machine.
Does anyone have tips or suggestions for how to learn? I have ADHD so somewhat of a short attention span...and I am eager to buy some sewing patterns and make some vintage dresses but would rather not mess up good fabric. Thank you!!
I am a beginner with the sewing machine (singer M1500) and while I got it the first time, since my bobbin has ran out of thread I have not been able to thread the bobbin since the thread always winds above or below the bobbin around the bobbin holder, help!
Ready to replace zipper in down parka (Mountain Hardware), however, even after removing some stitches, can see that the seam appears to be somehow sealed right to the edges. No way to get underneath/inside the seam without possibly destroying the fabric.
Has anyone come across this before? Stitched plus glued, heat sealed? How to properly open this kind of seam?
Bonjour, sur la machine à coudre singer de ma nièce, j'ai utilisé point zig zag puis suis revenue au point droit, mais la machine ne fonctionne plus du tout... ni point a ni point droit. ma belle-sœur a rencontré le même problème sur sa singer... est-ce que cela parle à quelqu'un ? J'ai tout essayé, changé de fil de canette, débranché rebranché.... rien.
I'm completely new to sewing as a hobby, though I have enough skill to make basic ladder/slip stitches, since I repaired a pillowcase once.
I have these two objects - a blue bag with nylon or polyester webbing and a gray cotton corduroy coat - that are in need of repairs, but I don't know what type of stitch or repair would be needed to fix them. I don't really know what the keywords to search for instructions online are. Pictures attached for reference. I have access to a sewing machine and needle/thread, so let me know if anything else would be required.
Unsure of the material - this handle came loose from where it was originally stitched.
Coat from the inside - 100% cotton.
Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Salve a tutti,
ho comprato su Vinted una gonna in lana che mi risulta essere troppo lunga. Io non voglio darla indietro perchè mi piace ma il problema è che devo indossarla fin sotto le ascelle. Come posso rimediare?
