I have one of those cheap mini-sewing machines, and I can’t figure out what to do with the lower bobbin thread. I know how to put it in. But when it comes to what to do with the thread on there i’m confused. Also, if any of you know what to do with the upper bobbin, ALSO let me know cause i may have done that wrong too.

I have basic sewing skills, but do not want to get into the big fancy quilts or buy a really expensive machine. I’m looking at rag quilts and I’m thinking those would be easy and fun to make for gifts. What machine would be good for that kind of simple sewing?

Hello. My mother bought me a Quikstitch portable sewing machine last year, because I asked her for a decent sewing machine so I can sew regular clothes like shirts and skirts.

Since its portable is it only useful for “touchups” only or can I use it make regular clothes.

I have a new Singer sewing machine, I got it from target. Any suggestions on how to get the tension correct so that the bobbin holds the stitches and does loop-up on me?
Thanks

I am starting a little boutique store, and coming more from the angle of furniture repair. I have little sewing experience, and now I really want to learn the basics. I want a decent machine that will let me get creative. maybe with various materials…. What are the various options on a sewing machine, and what makes them valuable? I have seen $5 thrift store versions up to $400 models with digital readouts. Any buying tips?

I just finished up a quilting class but it was the first time I had used a sewing machine. Now I want to move into sewing but have no idea where to begin!

Reading patterns seems to be very difficult and I’m still not familiar with the language. Also, math isn’t my strongest subject, so something fairly straight forward would be best. Any direction would be much appreciated. Thanks!
