I hope it doesn't post twice, but here it goes...
Some newbie stuff:
When you get a piece of fabric to work with, if it's cotton(or I guess
anything shrinkable, using for clothes,etc.) should you wash it first
before using it? And if so, what do you do around the edges so it doesn't
fray, pinking shears? I remember doing this when I was a kid in 4-H but
don't know if there's a better way.
I've just purchased a buttonholer for my 404 and it comes with four
templates.(I know, I was going to wait 'til I got the basics down, but it
was a steal so I jumped.) There are five other sized templates sold
seperately. Did Singer only produce one type of these additional metal
templates or is there a specific serial number set that I should be
looking for?
My 404 came with an automatic zigzagger and with it four pattern "cams"
that can be changed in and out. There are other additional patterns sold
seperately. I'm wondering if *all* of these cams could be used on my
zigzag attachment. I ask because I've seen some that are white
topped(where mine are red) and others being sold with the zigzag
attachment for the vertical needle machines. I think the cams for the
vertical machines would be interchangable with my slant machine because
it's only directing the pattern, and I think the difference is in the
attachment itself where the needle is. Another reason is that the cams had
the same serial numbers as the pattern cams I'm looking for.
Correct me if I'm mistaken, and thanks in advance if you'd like to offer
up some advice/info.
...On a fun note, the part I was waiting for in the mail was on my
doorstep after visiting family so now I'll be able to play around a
little.:)
