RH711 - Peekaboo Two!
Aug. 9th, 2008 05:16 pmAnother sneak preview of my stays. I took time off from the Jedi outfit I should be sewing to do the eyelets on the stays.

Gotta love that eyelet plate! I used 5mm RVS rings for extra support.
I'm still not too happy with the performance of my sewing machine. It's just been to the shop for an overhaul and it still skips stitches every now and then. This becomes more apparant when you're stitching eyelets.
It also developed another nasty habit: the needle locks up in the down position and won't go down any more. My fear is that the spool is out of synch with the needle. This would explain both the skipped stitches as the needle locking up. Annoying that they didn't fix it at the shop though.
I'll be spending most of the rest of the evening (and week) working on that Jedi outfit, followed by
manesni's outfit. I will be working tomorrow, so hello! Stress.
At least I can bind my stays in public transport, right?
