Having owned a second-hand coverstitch machine for a couple of
years, I'm *finally* going to thread it up for a few alteration
projects. Younger DD is height-challenged, so T-shirts are
always too long (along with everything else). So today, I'm
going to shorten two pairs of jeans, two woven shirts, and two
T-shirts for an upcoming trip. I'm not sure why I have avoided
this (using the coverstitch) for so long.

I also have the Huskylock 936, but I think the conversion to
coverstitch is probably a pain, so may just keep the dedicated
coverstitch for that purpose.

Beverly, taking a break from the kilt, pleat # 18 is done, 9 to
go....

Good luck Beverly,
I just did this on Saturday night with my new HuskyLock (is it 1036?). It
went fine but I had to read the directions very carefully because things had
to be done in the right order and there were several parts to change. But I
was thrilled with the result.

Thanks, Kirsten. Still haven't managed to start the alterations
for DD, because I was expecting a couple of deliveries, and I
cannot hear the doorbell from downstairs. So I unpicked the hems,
and worked on the kilt some more. Finished pleat #22....

Good luck, but you won't need it. You will do just fine. I have absolute
faith in you. :)

Thanks!

Turns out I needed the good luck on the delivery....poorly
packaged electronics off eBay, too-small box dented, inadequate
cushioning, DVD/VCR recorder fatally damaged. Aaaarrggghhh! Oh,
how I hate "eating" shipping costs. Seller has not responded to
my e-mail. Yet.
