I'm also planning a wedding and made bunting out of hessian sack material to be displayed behind us during the ceremony. I was super dooper lazy and just hot glued it all! Plus I cant sew for the life of me anyways.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16289475644359562247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6673952935999363483.post-13265978423573975622011-04-27T01:11:23.451-07:002011-04-27T01:11:23.451-07:00If the motor is going, but nothing is feeding thro...If the motor is going, but nothing is feeding through, it may be that the feed dogs are lowered (that's the part under the needle that pushes the fabric through). There's generally a lever to raise and lower them. (The purpose of being able to lower the feed dogs is to enable free hand machine embroidery, so you can move the fabric where you want.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6673952935999363483.post-28405555825335681992011-04-26T23:03:19.621-07:002011-04-26T23:03:19.621-07:00Bugger, what a shame.

Glad you have some other options though.<br /><br />You could also try the no sew version where your bunting flag is single layer and you trim with pinking shears or double layered and fused together with iron on fusing. You then attach these to your ribbon or bias binding using no sew hem tape.<br /><br />Gee I hope I explained that ok.<br /><br />Good luck with it either way.Petahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00551236092783357685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6673952935999363483.post-946411695163794582011-04-26T22:47:39.447-07:002011-04-26T22:47:39.447-07:00Hi Scather, yes very disappointing.

If I can get back into sewing, I might shop round for one for me to use full-time, as I've got lots of DIY projects in my head :)<br />No worries re passing on my blog, thanks for your recommended one also.

Would hand-stitching or even stapling be an option?<br />BTW, I'm about to pass on your blog to a friend of mine who is getting married next year - I already recommended http://500dollarwedding.blogspot.com/ to her, which has some neat ideas also.Scatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00821059799772449216noreply@blogger.com
