Hi All,
My name is Tracey and I live in Auburn, WA. Love reading the group, have
for a long time. I quilt some, sew some and just inherited a Viking 1+ from
my grandmother, just like new, so I have the bug again.
I have two questions:
1) Can anyone direct me a site or perhaps tell me the differance in threads
(cotton, polys, etc.). I never could understand which to use for what.
and
2) Are there any sites with free patterns; I am looking for a baby bib
pattern; bought a couple yesterday but still not what I am looking for.
Thanks so much,
Tracey

I don't know what sites show the difference between threads, but what kind
of bib are you looking for? I have made lots of bibs. What I do is trace a
plate onto paper, then take a smaller plate and trace that into the first
circle to make the top. Cut 2 of these from fabric sew them right sides
together, put in straps or use bias binding for straps. (not very
scientific I know)

There are a number of great things to read on sewing.org website. This is
from there and although it says "sergers and thread" it's not about just
serger threads. It may help you out some.

Are you looking for embroidery patterns for the bib? Visit
alt.sewing.mach-embroider. You can find machine embroidery info and
sites with free embroidery patterns.
I have a Viking Rose. If you need any additional information or site
suggestions, email me.

I got a Viking 1+ a few months ago!! I absolutely LOVE it and have been
using it a LOT!
