Dear Jan! It is funny how fate works for us! Before retiring, my plans were sewing, knitting, painting and so on, all the hobbies I loved and did not have enough time for. Since then, 8 years ago, my interests have switched in the direction of the kitchen and all the rest has been put “in storage”. I still have all the materials, but did not have the motivation. Your video has reminded me of all the beautiful things we can do with sewing and it has motivated me to try again. Also, I appreciate that you are concise in your explanations and I don’t have to put you on double speed to be patient enough to watch….😂 So, thank you very much and now that I have subscribed, I will keep watching your uploads!

I have been making kids' footed pajamas with fleece for over 10+ years. It's so easy to put the zipper in since there is no need to worry about finishing the edges: cut the front in one piece, put the zipper face down on the wrong side laid down from the center of the neck down one of the legs. Stitch the zipper down one side, across the bottom, and back up the other side. Flip the piece over and snip all the way down over the teeth and it's done

Hello. I am a beginner on sewing, I don't know much about it. I'm trying to sew a piece of fleece but I can't seem to able to do it. The fabric I worked with before was linen, very fine and thin and it was all good. But now with fleece, the machine can never pick the bobbin thread, I can't for the life in me sew anything, the needle simply moves up and down and eventually the line comes off it, not doing any stitches. I am wondering if there is something wrong with the needle? Or wrong needle? Or wrong settings? Or with the machine (it's an old second hand Singer Genie 354). Thank you

What is a fleece muff? Is that for your hands?

@@JanHowell yes, it’s a fur tube like winter items to put your hands in and keep them warm. Popular back around around the 16 to the 18th century. One of the old popular Christmas movies the female star had a white fluffy fur one in a scene. I’m thinking White Christmas!

I just made a quilt with a fleece backing and thankfully my brother PQ 1500 has pin feed and an excellent walking foot. I was seriously considering purchasing a pfaff with IDT just to sew this fleece. It was so frustrating. I wish I saw this video first.

Yes, a walking foot is so helpful.

I’ve been making project Linus quilts for sick kids, and was advised to use fleece backing on the quilts to make them cuddly and soft. I do have trouble quilting them as I almost feel I need to help the quilt through the machine by slightly pulling from the back, I’ve tried used the zigzag stitch, but it’s not constant throughout the quilting … do you have any suggestions… thank you

If your machine has the ability to adjust the presser foot I would lessen it a bit. Do you have a walking foot? That would help as well

Jan, I may have already commented on one of your videos, or maybe it was on another channel. Anyway, the black button on your presser foot is a leveler for the bulky seams so the tool for the "hump" isnt necessary. Just sew up to the bulk, raise the presser foot and press the black button simultaneously until it engages. Lower the foot and sew slowly. The button will disengage on its own as it gets past the bulk. If the button doesn't engage initially, take a stitch and try pressing it again and proceed.

Yes, it works great. But not all have that machine or feature.
