Hi started a new thread here as my posts will be car related.
So I got my singer 211 back from the tech. He had to take out the bobbin casing and removed the thread I had managed to get behind it. When I started to use the machine I was ready struggling with a bird nest on thread on the under side of the material. Yes thread tension was the likely cause but could sort it out. I ended up removing the bobbin casing again and spent 1/2 a day teaching myself how to retime the machine. I now have a working machine. Much more due to luck than judgement
As I’m new to this, I decided to give making a handbrake gator ago. ( I actually ended up make three before I was happy with the results)
Some photos of my efforts - bear in mind I’m a beginner
The patterning process.
Using small clips to hold my material for my first french seam
The seam
Thankfully runs out at the bottom that isn’t seen.
And the finished job
I know it’s not perfect but gaining in experience and confidence with every job. Welcome any tips
