SOS – What is so special about twin needles? (Except they break easily..)<\/em><\/p>\n

I have tried sewing with a twin needle twice now. It is so frustrating. I know that twin needle are perfect for knit seems, but I broke both needles very quick each time I give it a try. And as you know, they are quite expensive so my sewing heart broke each time. I kind of developed a great fear about sewing with them and I have the feeling that my sewing machine cannot deal with the standard size of 4mm. but it is so hard to get smaller ones nearby.<\/em><\/p>\n

I only tried regular straight stitch and in a trial the needle fitted, as soon as I add fabric (very thin knit) it was over \ud83d\ude41<\/em>
\n Do you know good alternatives to making Tee hems instead of using twin needles?<\/em><\/p>\n

Thank you very much for your help.<\/em><\/p>\n

I am interested in buying a good quality multi-adjustable dress form. Does anyone know of a good comparison of what is available or have any suggestions? Thanks!<\/em><\/p>\n

DEMAROGE ASKS:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I have a large bust and a small waist. (Well, it used to be ‘small.' Now it is more ‘medium!') I have a very hard time fitting so I have ‘given up' sewing for myself. I often look frumpy and my bust looks saggy (even with a good and well fitting bra.)<\/em><\/p>\n

Any suggestions from the braver and more seasoned bust-ier sewers … would be greatly appreciated!<\/em><\/p>\n

I would like to known what the best seam would be to make reversible jersey knit clothing.\u00a0 Specifically yoga pants. I am using 2 layers of light weight fabric. I was thinking a flat felled seam would be perfect but I was told that the weight of the fabric would cause rippling in the drape. Any thoughts? Thank you!\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
