 Dear Friends,

 With the Fourth of July Holiday upon us I reflect on all the freedoms we have as individuals and I am so thankful for that.  It makes me appreciate the sacrifices our servicemen and women make to enable us those freedoms.  All of us  at Fenton Sew-N-Vac want to thank all the servicemen and women and their families. 

 

Happpy Fourth of July,
Dorothy York

Dorothy's Sewing Tip

 

 

 

Don't confuse tension problems with stitch length problems.

If the fabric puckers, use a shorter stitch length.

If the fabric "waves" out of shape, the stitches are too dense for the fabric.  To correct, lengthen the stitch.
