9mm throat plate query
|
Since sewing on my mc15000 I have been having a problem with the start & end of my seams being gobbled & bunched by the machine. I did not have this problem to this degree on my former 7mm machines. I am wondering if it is due to the larger open area under the fabric. I will try a smaller, 11/75 needle size to sew light gingham tomorrow to see if that also helps. Plus I will draw up both threads so that I can hold them behind the needle & give a bit of a pull for the first few stitches, as I used to do on my former machines too. Has anyone else experienced this? Are there any tips as to how to avoid it yet sew right to the start & end of the fabric with the 9mm needle plate? 🌹🌻🌺🍄🌼🌞🌙🌏❄⚡☁🍃🌷🌸💐🐎🐅🐬🐟🐄🐏🐝🐛🐌🐥🐢🐍🐜🌲 |

Are you using the straight stitch needle plate?
The holes are smaller and don’t tend to pull the fabric down in quite as
bad.

I use a piece of fabric at the start of my quilt seams and then just sew onto my quilt fabric. If I am doing fashion sewing I pull my threads out and hold at the beginning of the seam. If you turn off the thread cutting option you can then clip your threads when you finish. I don't have any problems at the end so just let the machine cut the thread.

If sewing the straight st, use the
single needle plate. If you are doing zigzag, etc, use
stabilizer, Claire S

Mmm, I was wondering if I should use the straight stitch plate however I read in the manual that it was for use with the dual feed feet & embroidery? Should I put on a dual feet foot?
It seems a bit fussy to have to change the plate, I didn't have to do that with my 7 mm machines. Oh I shouldn't complain, it is a very simple procedure after all. And one of the main reasons I bought the 15000 was for those big 9mm decorative stitches. Well back into it today, I'm way behind in making a very sweet Sew4Home mother/daughter apron set for my daughter's birthday with monogrammed pockets & lots of tulle (definitely more decorative than for serious mess making!). |

Yay, the straight stitch plate with ordinary zig zag foot works perfectly from right on the edge of the fabric and without pulling on the threads! But I do wonder how to use stabiliser when doing zig zag plate stitches ... I guess you have to put an inch or so of tear away under the fabric for start & finish ...? 🌹🌻🌺🍄🌼🌞🌙🌏❄⚡☁🍃🌷🌸💐🐎🐅🐬🐟🐄🐏🐝🐛🐌🐥🐢🐍🐜🌲 |

It does depend on the weight of the
fabric, problems will occur with the lite weight, Claire S.

Hello Pru, I had the same experience when I started testing out stitches on the 15000 and then saw a YouTube video from The fat quarter shop - sewing small squares for patchwork, they began with a small square of fabric/ stabiliser and nothing caught under the needle plate. Does anyone know what else to try? Thank you all for all the interesting information related to these beautiful machines ;) Tanya Sent from my iPad On 19 Jan 2015, at 1:00 am, Pru Joy Bergemann prujoy@...

Thank you for yr thoughts Tanya. Well I found the best result was to use the Straight Stitch needle plate, that works perfectly. However when using the zig zag plate I will try doing that, putting a small piece of tear away under the start & maybe the end too, of the fabric. |
