Thanks guys!
Here is a little sewing trick that prevents me from crying when my cheap sewing machine messes up
Fixing Bad Stitches (jams, etc.)
- You can only do this if your holes are spaced evenly. If you short stitched or stitched crooked, those holes are permanent and you can't fix.
- Your thread will lose tension.. I usually tape my folds down before I top stitch, so I don't worry about about the material bulging back up
Here you can see my thread snagged, tension was way too high, I freed it, then kept sewing.
After you've spent hours on a part, there's no way you can just start over
So I cut on the dotted line (top and bottom thread)
Flip over, and pull up on the bobbin thread. This pulls the thread through.
Now.. start sewing right where the previous top stitch ends. Carefully make sure you use the exact holes.
You'll end up with this.
Now flip over.. and pull on the inner bobbin threads to pull the top stitch through
You'll get this.
And boom! Hard to tell you even messed up
I usually just glue down on the seam before I wrap and it is perfectly good.
