    FYI, the lines on a 3X5 card are exactly 1/4” apart. I carry extra cards for students. Put your needle in a line, line up with edge of foot , lower foot and check the setting.

  • @swiinka
    @swiinka 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    My late auntie was a tailor, as were her parents, and one thing my mom & I picked up from them is that they were very selective about what measuring tools they introduced to their workspace and each single one of them needed to be tested for consistency with the others. They had one 'benchmark' measuring tape for reference. It has not occurred to me to test my sewing machine plate. Thank you for this video. All the best!

You instructions are clear and understandable and make it possible for me to keep trying! Thank you so very much. Your an excellent teacher. Blessings from Texas.
