I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but I’m looking for video games about fashion. I know there’s Fashion Flight and the Fashion Fantasy Game, but are there any others? In particular, I’m looking for something that has a sewing center like the Fashion Fantasy Game.

@JsEstar I have a 12 year old brother embroidery machine. It’s called a Super Galaxie 2000 here in Australia but it was known in the US as the ULT 2000, I believe.

what kind of sewing machine do you have?

Great instructional video. Very helpful. Sorry I accidentally hit the dislike button by mistake and I don’t know how to undo it.

Thanks for the video. What sewing machine do you recommend for a first time sewer that is going to only sew stretchy material but doesn’t want to spend a lot of money?

@tmrippey1 Your local sewing machine shop or repairer should be able to help you find one.

Thank you so much for a truly informative, well-thought-out video on sewing stretch! I wish I’d seen your video 2 months ago when I first started sewing my daughter’s skate dresses!!

Where can I buy this walking foot for my Brother (XL-3100) machine? Thank you so much for posting this and helping me see how easy this can be.

Thank you for sharing this video. I’ve been trying figure this out since my serger tension is driving me crazy. I know I can do this now with my overlock. Cheers.

This is so helpful, thanks! Exactly what I needed to know!

Thanks for your video!

Thanks so much–as a beginner stretch fabric sewer, this was extremely useful! Wish me luck!

thank you for this video. Do you have a video or tips for making a hem with spandex type fabric? I need to make a dance costume and don’t have a serger and I’m worried that when I make the turned under, 1/4 inch hem that it will be messy. Any tips you have will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Thank you!! I’m going to get me a walking foot now. I made a skirt with just a regular ol’ foot and straight stitch and the fabric’s all puckered and it even ripped in two places where the gores are attached (but it has lasted quite a few months). I didn’t know any better, but I do now! I’m taking the skirt apart and will sew it the right way now. THANK YOU!!
