![]() ![]() (Couldn't do it yesterday as I had dd off school sick) I've made a note of the settings MuminFife used and am armed with my seventies sewing books.I will not be defeated. I'm going head to head with the Lervia today. Was it an apron for a Barbie doll or an apron with Barbie on it. Oh.glad the Barbie apron and sundress were successful. I've been to the library today and picked up a couple of very dated books about sewing so I'll have to get the Lervia out tomorrow and study the books. Let me know how you get on.Ĭan anyone reccommend an idiots guide to sewing machines? Muminfife, (trillium here under another name), thanks for replying but tbh most of what you said went over my head (seem to have a very low to the ground head at the moment ) What is an ex-lazy-sewer and stay-stitching? Is this really the first sewing machine you've used? If so,how did you know about bias binding? What is bias binding? Also I'm not sure I had the thread threaded through the right bit of the top tension thingymajig (my mastery of the technical terms is impressive, no? ) I've probably got virtually every adjustable knob set on the wrong setting now, and think I need to understand a bit about the basics before I have another go. I tried to adjust the tension then looked at the booklet but apparently you can also alter the tension on the bobbin and it all started going whooooooooosh over my head, and I don't understand quite what to do. ![]() It looked okay from the top but the underside was all puckered and too much cotton. I experimented with an old pillow case and was really impressed, but when I turned the pillow case over it's obvious the tension was all wrong. I spent ages looking at it and admiring it before setting it up and having a go. ProfYaffle, no, no, it's probably just me. J20 it was £40 - a couple of weeks ago now though. So.can anyone suggest a really really basic, start from the very beginning, book on how to use a Sewing Machine? I'd be eternally grateful. Tried using my new super duper with knobs on Lervia, and I can't get the tension/stitch length or basically anything, right at all. I used to get on fine with it and managed to produce curtains, cushions covers and even a dress once (talking very very basic here, and probably would not be up to anyone else's standards, but hey, each to his own, I was pretty chuffed with it). forwards, backwards, variable stitch size and a tension knob. In the past I've used my faithful old treadle Singer which only had about three adjustable things on it (as far as I know anyway). and realised I actually know naff all about how to use one. Vacuums - Hi I am looking for Lervia 564 sewing machine manual I was rethreading the bobbin and the casing fell out now It won't p- question about Vacuums. My wife has a lervia 564, but alas new instruction book, could you. Mrs uncle_ buck has one of them sewing s a Lervia KH4000. ![]()
