I finished weaving the project from my
Beginning Weaving class, but I still needed to zig zag the edges, cut the pieces apart, and hem them. That was a couple of weeks ago.
Well, I finally fired up the sewing machine and started zig zagging and was having a heck of a time (and not in a good way). The tension was varying like crazy and the thread kept breaking. Talk about frustrating.
Was it that my funky ol' sewing machine didn't like the handwoven fabric? That was my thought, because a new sewing machine would be very nice. For grins I changed the needle (since I couldn't remember the last time I had done that) and voila, problem solved! I guess I don't really
need a new sewing machine after all.
Here are the weaving FO's:
