is this the kind of buckram where you pull the strings to make the pleats or do you measure and sew the pleats yourself?

I haven't used it yet- but I believe it is the kind where you sew it on flat, and then use the 3 legged or pronged drapery hooks to form the pleat where you want it. Each leg pulls in the material and forms the pleat. The tape has holes in the channel for the legs of the drapery hook. These gather the pleat.

I couldn't findbone so I made one. Went to JoAnns and bought fabric for $10 and used the Orange one that came w/ironing board as a pattern for the new one. It took less than an hour to make the new one.

I usually embroider on them, but I did actually do fabric painting on one to see how it worked, and it seemed to work pretty well. I always wash and iron them first before doing anything with them.

The pleather is a sewn piece. The piece holding the mini is a plastic shell and it does feel like the material is glued onto the shell itself. I haven't had any problems so far, had for a month. For the price it's decent quality. Mine is not peeling.

I have both the 1034D and the Designio. The machines are mechanically identical. The only differences are cosmetic. They thread exactly the same way, and the user manuals are identical. I most often use thread made for sergers, but you can use any thread you like on a serger. I have used embroidery thread, for example. A very thick thread might not work as well, but it depends on what you want. Always test on a scrap of the fabric you plan to use, because you sometimes need to make a few adjustments to tension, stitch length, etc. for different fabrics to get a neat result.

There is a paper with pictures showing you how to do this... There's no way I could explain it. It was very frustrating at first till I figured it out. Now, after a few times of doing it, I rarely need to look at the picture to remember how to do it. Piece of advice, though, make sure you don't throw away or lose that paper and keep it in the bag for reference! LOL!

they sewed on with brown thread. If you want to reposition the clips you should be able to clip the string and re sew. You should be able to sew a set together with brown thread. I hope this helps.

You will need to read your sewing machine manual to determine . I have a brother and my manual had given suggestions to my machine.

Hi there. I took a good look at the front and back and it looks like you can do this. There are two rows of stitching for each section and the threads are fairly thin - you will need to use a seam cutter (sewing item). It does look as if you can remove them and create one large section. Note - there is a zipper for both sections and the bottom one is close to where the section starts - does not look like it would interfere with your trying to make this a one section bag - just don't open the bottom zipper.Regards

No. You turn knobs to change the stitch length or presser foot pressure; push a button for needle up/down; push a button for automatic needle threading; lift a lever to raise or lower the presser foot (or press your knee against the knee lever); hold a lever down while you stitch to go in reverse for a back stitch; push a button (or press your heel on the foot pedal) to cut the thread and raise the foot. It only does a straight stitch so there's not really anything to computerize. The machine is all metal (even the bobbins) not plastic, industrial strength, and sews like a dream.

I researched each foot online and then labeled them in the organizer. You can Google sewing machine feet and identify them by picture. I was able to find a chart.

I also sew - the board bends a bit. I'd be reluctant to apply too much pressure. I use my regular board that is set up in my sewing room.

Our's are folded over seams where cut from the bolt, and then a selvaged edge - not sergered - on the side of the fabric. This means that it is the edge of the woven fabric where cutting and sewing isn't required due to the weave.

I dont remember but it wont be perfect like the picture. I did use a pulley to strech it out

It is very simple...I love it. Select the buttonhole symbol. Use the buttonhole foot that is included. Buttonhole size is determined by whatever size button is used in the slot on the buttonhole foot. Then you just press the sewing pedal. The machine automatically bartacks on each end and stitches each side. It also stops automatically. I guess the one step is putting on the buttonhole foot.

None ready made; I made one out of leatherette; using nylon thread and overcast stitch. It's been over a year and it is holding up.

No, but you will need a tape measure and string leveler to square up with your string.
