Welcome Baby Carly!!
This little sweetie was born almost 2 days ago. Her brothers and sisters died, she was the only survivor of a horrible labor.

Awwwww What a little cutie Carly is! Thank you Lis for sharing this very nice photo. Welcome to the world, you gorgeous little kitten and I'm so sorry about her brothers and sisters. I hope mommy's doing well.

 

[Disney_Princess_Fan]

The vet wants to see her in a week. He was the one who advised me how to assist her deliver the kittens. She would have died if we didn't help her. What a shame though. The poor little baby is in there crying right now, and the dumb mother is just wandering around the house. She isn't concerned about it in the slightest.

Oh, that's not good to hear that mommy is just letting the baby cry! It's was nice that you helped with the kitten's delivery, Lis! Carly is gorgeous! Good luck with the vet in a week ... will be sending prayers and keeping the beautiful kitten Carly in my thoughts. Please let us know what happens. xx

Thank you. Done.

HI. I am trying to use an iron applique for a clippie type bow, but the glue gun "glue" will not stick. It slides right off. I have tried to pull the slick backing off the iron on, but it won't come off. I would really appreciate any ideas!! I posted on the craft site, but I also thought on of you might know also. THANK YOU

I'm not sure how big your iron on applique is, but what I would do would be to iron the applique onto a small piece of heavier fabric such as canvas or a white cotton based fabric, since most iron ons adhere best to cottons it seems. From there, I would try to glue it to the clip. If the clip has holes you might even try hand sewing it with a few tack down stitches through the holes. I hope that helps!

I made a reversible A-line yesterday and have been putting off finishing it all day because I was afraid of the button holes for the closures. Then, I was happy to realize that my machine will make the buttonholes for me. I practiced on scrap about 15 times, and was pleased, so I tried it on the dress. I have ripped it out 3 times because it's just not working. It will do the top re-enforcement, then down the left side. Then, it just sits at the bottom going back and forth forever. It never goes up the right side. I tried again on the scrap and it works fine. I am doing the exact same thing. What am I doing wrong and how do I fix it? Please help me. Thank you!

Hi there~ Are you using any type of tear away stabilizer in the back? Sometimes that extra layer helps give your machine extra "grip" to move the fabric through better. Also, what type of foot are you using to do your button hole? I'm thinking you should be using a foot that has a cleared or hollowed center middle to allow the bulk of the zig zag stitch to pass under the foot without getting stuck. I've ripped out so many of mine that I have done and I certainly understand your frustration.... keep practicing! You can do it!

AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! Can we get a sign to go on Katie's door to tell me if I will be waking up a 10 year old or a teenager in the morning?!?!? I may not survive the hormone change in that child! Most mornings she is as sweet as can be...but then there are those days that...AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!

Anyway....I am going to play with my new baby today! I haven't touched her since I got her 3 weeks ago...so much craziness going on! But, I spent all day yesterday getting all of the laundry done..yes, all of it! Vaccuumed the entire house, cleaned all the bathrooms, and mopped. I can sit down guilt free...right after I get back from Zumba that is! I am so excited!

Thanks for all of the prayers and support. I have done some reading back and it seems like a lot of us need prayers. I just know we will ALL come thru all of our stuff stronger and feeling better on the other side!

We had a great weekend. Visited some friends out of town for the day. Cleaned the yard up...I HATE SWEET GUM TREES!

Okay...I will post pictures later if I am actually able to do anything with my machine!



BTW---I know it has been answered before....where is the best place and what do you guys recommend for thread for the embroidery machine?

Tks!!!!!

Hi Moonk's Mom,

I buy my thread at Long Creek Mills, in Gastonia. Everytime we go to MaryJo's Cloth, I have to make a trip to Long Creek Mills to stock up on embroidery and serger thread. Here's a link to their site. I hope it helps. You can also order online.

Take care,
Marianne

Yes and Yes. You can contact Singer for replacement parts, but you probably only need a new screw unless you know for certain it's the hoop you stripped. How long have you had your futura? I had one, but I literally burned the thing out in 6mo. I think the bobbin base was trying to jump out and kill me as it chewed it's way through everything that was between the two of us.

Thanks for the tip. I will do that. I have had it about 6mo. I am not thrilled with it - but it gets the job done.

PRAYER REQUEST
DGD3, Araeyah, is having surgery Monday morning at 11:00. It is suppose to be a 3 hour surgery. She has a submucous (hidden) cleft palate and they are going to correct it and put new tubes into her ears. As far as we know they will be cutting the entire roof of her mouth and then repositioning the muscles and tissue and stitching it up (think Z shape). She can have no straws or sippy cups and has to eat pureed food for 3 weeks. DD is of course very nervous about the length of the surgery. We really hate to see her have to go through this but it is affecting her speech and we feel that the sooner it's fixed the better. TIA

praying for your daughter and your family right now!!

This turned out so cute! Love it!

Can I ask you guys to remember me in your prayers too? I have been sick for about 3 months. At first I thought it was related to my IBS but I am not getting any better. I have lost quite a bit of weight since December and am very tired. I finally went back to the doctor 2 days ago and he said he is very concerned and thinks the diagnosis of IBS may be wrong. He said I shouldn't be this sick and feels I have become malnourished. (which makes sense since the last week I have only been able to eat plain white rice and bread and have still been getting sick). They are going to send me on to a specialist and run a bunch of tests. I went through a lot of these tests about 11 years ago so I am not looking forward to going through them again, but I also can't function like this anymore. They also found a cancer spot on my face that needs to be removed. He feels like it is the type of cancer that will only grow in that spot and not spread into the rest of my body. I am praying he is right. I have been pretty emotional the last few days and am really trying to trust God and not let fear rule my life, but I must admit, it has been hard. Thanks for letting me vent. I believe in the power of prayer so I figure the more people who pray, the better off I'll be. Thanks for listening.

hope you feel better soon! Praying for you.

Usually if I loosen the upper thread tension it fixes this problem. I don't think I've had it happen when I use the embroidery function of my machine but it does happen sometimes when I forget to adjust things for applique.



I'm considering going to a 10/12 with a length of 18-19" but I need to see how the 7/8 skirt looks (my next test). In the past when I tried to size up my designs the proportions just didn't look quite right once I went past a certain length, especially ruffles.

Yeah!!! I really need a 10/12.

Very cute!!

Aimee, love the outfits!!! Your girls are getting so big!! I would so love to go to the Poly for Christmas one year . I went with my mom when my daughter was 8 months....it was dreamy! I love the atmosphere there! Someday...

These outfits were for March 2nd....Read Across America...

ETA: I just realized we are getting close to the end of this thread!

Love the DR.Suess outfits - where did you find the designs - I looked
everywhere for them!!

Oh no! I just went through her site last night picking out stuff heather doesn't have yet! Guess I should have bought it then. I was also hoping to make the 7 dwarfs! hopefully HS doesn't have the same problem!

I had them already in a shopping cart! They are gone. Can you say a day late and dollar short!

Maybe HS can make us a set of dwarfs in her 'spare' time!

Nini

 

[aimeeg]

Digitalbydesign is another good seller in etsy. Also, if you google divadoodles you will find another site. Diva's is nice because she has instant download. Well . . . there were a few designs I wanted from Heather so off to etsy I go just in case! LOL

I don't want to take away HS business by any means, she's always my first (and usually last!) stop to find anything, but if you want the dwarves, pm me and I can tell you where to find them.

ETA>>>Someone else beat me to it...I didn't want to post names just in case it was a copyright thing, didn't want anyone to get into trouble because I "outed" them.

I fell like I am going to have a panic attack over it...... holey moley... wanted that sitting simba on her site. I feel like between everyone we know someone must have gotten the ones we need off the site. I hope she puts them back...

I can't figure out what site you're talking about, I don't have everyone on Facebook, which has been acting weird all weeked for me anyway. I don't like it's new format, I cant always see my friends posts, but get stupid ones telling me when they've made a comment about someone not on my friends list.

Stitch on Time. She took all her designs down today. She said she was going through them all and will put the non copyrighted ones back up.....

So, my question is... does Disney sell the designs themself? I haven't seen them if they do. Or is it that they do not want us to make clothes with the designs on them?


(I have terrible visions of the 'Disney police' checking all customs as we come in to see if we have anything 'bootlegged'! LOL)

I suppose, from now on we should limit the use of names of the sites...can you tell I am already in a bad mood??!?? Now THIS!!

Thanks for the advice on the buttonhole. I could not access the answers last night due to the upgrade. In the meantime, I listened to my 4 year old and figured it out on my own. I was really frustrated and was getting mad. She told me to stop and eat dinner and try again later. That was the advice I needed. I came back after dinner and all of a sudden, it clicked. There is this lever that you have to bring down when using the button hole foot. Well, apparently, it has to be straight up and down. I had it down at an angle. The difference was my scrap was a single layer and my dress was two layers with interface. So, as I put the dress under the foot, it made that touchy lever move, messing everything up. I was able to get both buttonholes made and all 4 buttons sewn on. DD modeled the dress and we sent email pix to both sets of grandparents. Thanks again for the advice. I really appreciate it. Now, I'm going to read the first page to try to figure out how to post a picture.

I'd be mad too...I have a wishlist running in my head of Alice designs on that site, but I know you were ready to get started. Maybe limiting the use of names will help, if anyone asks for a specific website info, PM them might be a better idea. Can you email Stitch on Time and ask for a private transaction? Disney does sell their designs, but only for use with the Brother machines...when I stitch out those, the little "c" is part of the design. But the applique stuff is so much more fun. I hope our favorite digitizer will be safe, to me most of her designs, especially the Cuties, are more like an artist's interpretation of something instead of a direct copy. I'm not meaning that in anyway bad, I own most of them, it's just my opinion

The test skirt for size 3/4 and a second variation of the pattern:

Another skirt to test size 7/8. I'm very pleased with how this came out so I'm going to try a 10/12. I was worried that the ruffles would become too long but I think they still have the look I want at this length (I've decided I really prefer the rolled hem on the ruffles but I wanted to try one with a regular hem).

One more variation to test as well as the test for size 10/12.
