I cannot read sewing patterns, help?
Where online can I learn to read sewing patterns? (I want sth direct, pls)
I don't have money to go to sewing class (continuing ed, leisure course). I did took one before, but it just doesn't work for me, afterward, I still can't work indenpendently on a pattern.
And I don't have anyone (family members, relatives, others), who knows sewing, who I can ask.
I know a little sewing, I always wish to sew some simple clothing for myself, I mean real simple.
But the thing is, I brought the patterns, but I don't understand the instructions. I don't know how to read sewing patterns and their instructions. So overwhelm by all those words all over the patterns. And it's hard to understand sth 'visual and graphical' when they explain by writing.
sth = something
I don't know what "sth" is, so I hope this answer isn't what you don't want.
Have you checked out the Simplicity patterns website? You can find the address by using Google. (If you've never tried that, just go to www.google.com and type "Simplicity patterns" in the search box that comes up then hit Enter.)
If that doesn't answer your questions, I can. Email me by clicking on the 'name' under the grey smiley box. Ask specific questions, like "what does 'right sides together and raw edges even' mean?" I will be happy to answer them for you as best I can. I do sew -- and have done for a few years now -- and sometimes work with purchased patterns. I prefer making my own for the simple stuff. I can also tell you how to do that if you write me. Hope that's helpful.
One thing that helps me with complicated instructions for anything is to have someone read it (not too fast, please) to me. For some reason, it makes more sense to me when I hear it -- even though I read very easily and go through books like a bookworm! Maybe this would work for you, too.

What happens if you have a chronic illness requiring very good insurance, lots of treatment, but may divorce?
I have a chronic illness that is thankfully covered quite thoroughly by my husband's medical insurance. We have separated. If he divorces me, and I lose the coverage, I will have a huge pre-existing condition (plus I'm unable to work full time) that no company will cover. I would not be able to afford insurance OR treament without insurance. I'm afraid I'll end up in "the system," with free clinic type of services, which of course are patchwork at best and will worsen the course of my illness. Can I somehow work it out so that he must continue covering me? Please help, or point me toward a resource!
I don't know of any way around this, if he drops you from his coverage. Unless you have it written into the divorce decree that he has to keep coverage for you.

Singer Confidence 7470 Sewing Machine Review
The Singer Confidence 7470 sewing machine is a hit with both beginners and experienced sewers. The large selection of decorative stitches and intuitive control panel make sewing easy, fun, and rewarding. With such variety and beginner-friendly automation, this is not a machine you would easily outgrow. This is one that will grow with you and will encourage your creativity.
Singer Confidence 7470 Stitch Patterns
There are 146 built-in stitches including the most used utility stitches. However, those sewing must-haves (straight, zigzag, stretch stitches, blind hem, overcasting and such) become quite boring once you see the fun, decorative stitches - puppies, vines, and an assortment of satin stitches as well as quilting and heirloom stitches.
A number of stitch functions like reverse and mirror can be applied to many of the decorative stitches and you can save up to 20 stitch patterns in memory in order to repeat created patterns. This is particularly useful with the letter and character stitches. Just program the same words or set of initials into the machine for future reference as you monogram shirts, blankets, towels or baby bibs.
To further save time, there are six buttons for single, push button stitch selection for the most used stitches - straight, zigzag, blind hem, overcasting, blanket, and a bartack buttonhole.
Singer Confidence 7470 Presser Feet
The Singer Confidence 7470 sewing machine comes with four snap-on presser feet and 3 presser foot height settings - down, up and extra-up for thick fabrics.
- Zipper Foot (General Purpose)
- Satin Stitch Foot
- Blind Stitch Foot
- Buttonhole Foot
Singer Confidence 7470 Features
There's no lack of automation and functionality. The bright, LCD screen is easy to read and uses icons and images to help clarify settings and stitch selection. The push button control panel is easy to operate.
The sewing machine includes an automatic needle threader, Drop and Sew bobbin for easy set up, a see through bobbin cover, automatic and adjustable upper thread tension, and horizontal top thread delivery. A Needle Up/Down position means you get to decide in which position the needle stops and can be useful for making nice, tight corners. The needle also has 13 available needle positions.
The extension arm removes for free-arm sewing or so that you can access the drop feed dog lever. Dropping the feed dogs allows for free motion embroidery and free motion quilting. A Twin needle button on the machine helps the machine control which stitches can be selected when a twin needle is attached and prevents the machine from being damaged by the selection of any stitches not compatible with the twin needle.
The work space is well lit with a StayBright, long-lasting LED light. A built-in carry handle is attached at the top of the machine. A number of accessories come with the machine including extra needles, bobbins, an extra spool pin for twin needle sewing, spool caps, seam ripper, screwdriver and a dust cover.
The Singer Confidence 7470 sewing machine is the top of the line in the Confidence series and offers the most features and functionality yet still very reasonably priced and an excellent choice for someone who wants a machine that will handle multiple types of sewing projects and fabrics.

quilted pattern
quilted pattern
How do you change a square quilt pattern to a rectangular one? I'm making a quilt for an ex-long twin bed.?
Some patterns can easily be changed simply by adding more blocks. If the quilt has a secondary pattern (one where the blocks have a primary pattern, then putting the blocks together, sometimes turning them, makes another large pattern visible), you may detract from it if you just add blocks. In that case, you could add borders just to the top and bottom, or you could do a row of blocks at the top separated from the main quilt by a small border. It would be the "pillow cover" part of the quilt.
