What costume fabric would you recommend for a basic brother sewing machine?
Mar 29, 2009 by melowsom | Posted in Hobbies & Crafts
I have a very focal sewing machine (Brother LS-260) and am making a super star costume, I want the pvc or vinyl look but have no reason if my sewing machine could handle these fabrics, or what the difference is. Are there thinner fabrics with nearly the same visual aesthetic? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
It will be easier if you use a Teflon Foot. You can find these at JoAnn and they are not high-priced.
Here is a site with a lot of information on sewing PVC. -http://www.mjtrends.com/sewing-pvc-vinyl -organization-page1.php
Test the stitching on scraps before making the garment to get the strain just right.
Once the needle pierces the PVC, the stabbing is there to stay.
You might consider fabric for evening dresses, like these - http://www.distinctivefabric.com/categor y.php?cat=Bright)
to get the shinny effect with easier sewing.

old brother sewing machine block and wire foot pedal?
May 27, 2008 by dre_fairy | Posted in Hobbies & Crafts
I've no more than recently inherited my grandmothers OLD brother sewing machine ... I almost cried when dad gave it to me :) anywho...
In talking with Brother as an individual, I've learned that what I am looking for is a 'block and wire' foot pedal (did not check in with the machine) Brother does not make this product anymore, and can not introduce where I could get one. Any suggestions? Thank you!
How top-hole! Your grandmothers sewing machine!
I wonder if this is what they mean by "obstruction and wire" foot pedal. They call it a "Thrilling wire block for older sewing machines" on the placement:
