Finally got a 201 for Christmas and for my birthday a new buttonholer :) here is my collection of feet and accessories [/URL]singer_feet_chickendave by chickendave, on Flickr[/IMG] Mostly used for shirts and upholstery

I also forgo Erica Wilson, so very 70's and a fantastic accent. https://www.youtube.com/user/EricaWilsonNantucket/videos The owls remind me of childhood in Folkstone 1975 with giant sunflowers on the wall, orange carpet and purple curtains with embroidered owl cushions and macramé pot holders...

Hi, this is a great thing to do and got me off the fags. You don't need much but it is worth getting nice needles (i got my set after a recommendation on one of Toddy's posts about old needles on ebay) you do not need a frame or hoop for most things if you get used to spreading with hands and...

I have done many future learn courses, currently on last week on Hadrian's wall. the Best two so far were Mind is Flat https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/the-mind-is-flat-2014 and Portus https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/portus-2 well worth doing as free and fun, portus took a lot longer...

I had a 2002 berlingo with the 1.9 diesel, was an excellent car until the back axle collapsed!!! I did not know that newer cars don't have springs :confused: they have this axle in axle thing :( bring back the Bedford HA, you could fix that with bad language and a hammer. I also used it for...

I have a singer 185k and it is very good, I think the best one for upholstery (thats not purpose built) is a singer slant needle, it was made in germany but the only problem with it is you can fit most of your hand under it. I will get the number of it this week as I have loaned it to someone...

will not take a phone that has work contacts on it, bought a £10 tesco one and it goes in a thick lidle freezer bag, family and friends have that one. No email either. If it does get soaked, trodden on, forgotten or slips through a hole in time I dont much care. I do have a small laminated card...

got my one here http://www.spicesofindia.co.uk/acatalog/Cast-Iron-Karahi.html lost of nice stuff and always had good delivery, better if you have a local shop but kings lynn is not too good for anything from johnny foreigner :) nice and heavy, works perfectly on charcoal, wood a small scrap...

I did, she is not far from me and gave great service. It was her who identified the machine for me when I had failed everywhere else. A very good person to get advice from and she makes brilliant kites as well. Dave

Here's mine, a Singer Improved Family from 1893 Singer 11 by chickendave, on Flickr Singer 12 by chickendave, on Flickr The bobbins are a bugger to find Singer 8 by chickendave, on Flickr but it works a treat and is great fun to use. I still have my mums Jones Family CS and a couple of...

pic 1 for me

fitting a flue and stove is simple, just take each step one at a time and remember to double check your heat shielding and minimum distances to combustible surfaces, also make sure that your hearth is large enough to catch falling embers when you open the door. the most important thing to ensure...

HI Bob Just received my knife :):You_Rock_ This is even better than it looked in the pictures. Bugger work, i'm now off to have a play.:dancer::approve: Many thanks. Dave

Sheeps foot type blades, my favourite, I would like that :) Let me know how to pay and i will sort that now.

sausage, anything else just isn't English :)

this looks fun, I have just refurbished a singer improved family still on its original table and i'm looking for something to make with it. :)

Ta :) It was off ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/inkle-weaving-loom-table-top-/330865694067?pt=UK_Crafts_OtherCrafts_Spinning_Weaving&hash=item4d0921d573 Crochet pearl cotton is the simplest to keep even tension but I have made some very nice tape with sewing thread as well.

You could have a go at making your own. I got an Inkle loom and these are my first goes. there are lots of drawings and plans on how to make your own and the plain bands are very simple. sorry for bad pics

All the women in my family tried the sheewee and hated it, same problem as getting a gas mask to work with a beard :(
