DIY Baker tent

[TurboGirl]

I think missing stitches can be too thick areas and bad needle insertion most commenly

It's timing between the bobbin shuttle and top thread skipping wrong side of the shuttle so moving the work under the afoot might cause it too...

Just been to see bushsons new 28k after collecting what I think might be a Singer 66k treadle, all good sewing karma around atm

I'm going to convert my AFV shelter into a Baker tent, probably by throwing a tarp on the front...

Mmmm if you want a good roaring fire at the front of it, I'll swap you an old lace chassis'd lanny rather than that nice pickup Plenty of oil underneath, it'd keep you toasty for hours

Lovely adaption

well you can pick up machines cheap over here and youu folk across the pond have wonderful quilting and sewing bees bet you'd find willing teachers there and your materials are brilliant, we'd be delighted to get our hands on cotton canvas by the toll that you guys produce! Beware, though, its highly addictive, this sewing malarkey

Check out your local charity shops and Craigslist before ebay. Shipping is a killer on sewing machines.

If you have a local auction house its worth a visit, you still see them going for not a lot of cash.
