Thou shalt not grab the triangular side of the hot iron. The cold handle will not press your seam correctly anyway!

Thou shalt not forget to change your stitch plate so you don't break your needles.

This is what I tell my 13 yo son. lol I swear he leaves his brain in bed sometimes.

Thou shalt not sew through thy finger.....done that

Of course you check your iron by licking your finger first! Are ya'll saying my graandmother and mother were WRONG? Oh my!

We're definately past 10 commandments. I'm just proud some are mentioned I have yet to break. Early days yet, right?

As ya'll can see from my earlier post I break the most obscure of the commandments. The ones that I should've known not to do. Consequences of actions. You'd think I'd learn. There are some of the others that I've not broken! Yeah!

How bout this one?
Thou shalt not THINK thou hast cut a piece too small without first figuring out the SEAM ALLOWANCE of the piece it's fitting in with! AND thou shalt NOT recut without figuring these things out first!

NOT that I would ever have done that, of course.

I have that same machine. Why would a company make such a dumb machine. Is there anyone out there who knows how to change the default and keep that needle in the center?
What machine are you talking about? All of the machines that I have all have the needle in the center of the plate.
It's a Brother 2800. annoying as all get out!
Same thing with my Brother. I am going to call them on Monday and ask if it is possible to change it. I think their idea was to keep most of the seam fabric under the foot.

Thou shalt double check HST and trim down to size before sewing!

RRRRIIIIPPPP!!!! :)
