I have crocheted a baby quilt in squares, and I'd like to put a satiny backing on it, so it will be softer. What type of fabric would be best? I was thinking of using charmeuse, and I'd like to hear from anybody who has ever done that, or who might have suggestions about what type to use.

I made a crocheted type basket a while back out of strips of cloth. Does anyone know how to make them or where I can find instructions?

I'm making a little snuggle blanket for cats and dogs at our local shelter. The yarn calls for a 4.5mm hook, which I've started the piece with. It's pretty flat and not very soft. If I use a larger hook size will it "fluff" up my work a bit? About how much larger should I go?

I am an inexperienced seamstress trying to make roman shades for my bedroom. I have just started to use a new machine--or new to me; it's a rebuilt Sears Kenmore machine, simple but highly serviceable. (I got a copy of the manual from Sears.)

Here's the problem. When I sew forwards and backwards and forwards again to get started and keep the thread from unravelling, the thread knots, the needle gets stuck, and I have to ease the fabric out with great care and cut through a major rat's nest of thread on the underside of the fabric.

I am currently trying to sew loop tape to a simple cotton panel in order to make Roman shades, but I have the same problem when I try to sew backwards and forwards again on scrap cotton. I think my tension is okay (?). The thread I am using is somewhat thick. I am not sure what other specifics to offer.

Can anyone tell me how to solve my problem so I can take down the old sheet that is currently covering my window?

I have many black and white family pictures dating back to the 50's and to this day they have been in a tote bag. The other day i decided to go over them and most of them have curled up (the quality of the pictures are still good) the photo paper is just bent. What is the best solution to un-curl them?

I was looking in my attic and I found this old sewing machine in mint condition. I was just wondering how much I could sell it for. It's just missing the instruction manual. The vox it came in still looks nice as well.
I know this website below has some forn sale.
Any ideas on how to find out how much it is worth will help me so much.

How do I find good bobbin bobbin tension from scratch seeing as I accidentally undid the screw all the way (and now I've put it back together).
My machine was jamming (and bunching & destroying fabric until no more give was possible) and I was trying to adjust the bobbin tension.
It's a brand new machine and I've made a knit poncho & not much else... It's a singer.
