I have been reading about how to go over thick seams such as Jeans. I am going to show a link for an example...you can use this technique, but instead of buying this gadget...you just need to use your sewing needle case...the white backing..cost nothing....oh of course you had to buy the needles...Happy Sewing!!!http://sewfordough.wordpress.com/200...gwhat-is-that/

I hit mine with a hammer to flatten the seam. I know it sounds odd, but it works.

Now that is funny!!!!

Thankfully, my Husqvarna came with a little widget to do this. It is very, very useful.

Hitting it with a hammer? That's a tailors trick. Spritz with water, press, and hit it with a hammer. Sew right over it. And the Jean-a-ma-jig works too.

Just when you thought you had heard of everything....now I need a hammer for my sewing room!!

Just another one of hubby's tools to make its way into my room! I laughed the other day i bought a pivot screwdriver and showed it to him and he told me he needs to check my room whenever he needs tools cuz i am accumulating quite a few in there!
