Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
I really need to work on buttonholes. I've fucked up every buttonhole I've attempted. It didn't help that I didn't know the machine came with a buttonhole foot though. I've also learned that if you don't leave enough material sticking out from the right side of the foot, that the needle will jam the material down into the machine and jam it all up.
"There are no finger prints under water."
Yes, that is the truth with every machine and every type of material- it will jam if you put it too close to the edge. And buttonholes are everyone's bane.

Have you watched any Sailright videos? They make outdoor stuff like wheel covers and cushions for boats and stuff. Another poster on here was pointing out how all their videos make everything look so easy. Here is the one I used to learn how to make version #1 of that triangle bag on the last page. My first version was round.
flyboy: There is a company called Green Pepper and they have all kinds of cool plans for backpacks, gloves, boots, and active wear. Basically, stuff you'd actually want to sew, as opposed to aprons and dresses. http://www.thegreenpepper.com/

Green Pepper has a lot of patterns available at Joanns.
I haven't watched at Sailright videos, no. We haven't got a lot of outdoor stuff that needs covers and things. Unlike your job, which has you outside all the time!
There are a lot of sewing groups on FB that have great tips and tricks.

I have to work tomorrow morning, but I'm already at work. Does that count?

Can't believe how late it is! Been sewing half the day.
