It's a pair of socks, 2 buttons & a real of thread at t' end of t' day!

It was that website that inspired me to make something myself! Nice to look at but silly prices.

Just finished my first bag, i will post a picture when i can, thou i say it myself, its not to bad for a first effort. I did'nt follow the instructions to the the letter but did a few short cuts which i thought were a lot easier. I am looking to do another one but in a thinner fabric then the cord i used. Only 2ed time i have posted but a fan of these thread for months now. xx

Be quick with the picture. I want to make one but can't decide which one as there's so many to choose from .
How's your rug coming on?

Hello everyone,I have a question that you may be able to answer for me.Do Cath Kidston do an eiderdown that is 200 x 200?As on their website and ebay they only seem to do them in 150 x 130?
I can only find bedspreads in size 200 x 200?Not sure if I'm making sense here!lol
Basically I'm looking for a Cath Kidston Eiderdown that will fit my double bed and I can't seem to find one,now I'm starting to wonder if they exist.:D

Please can anyone help?
I have a fairly new E&R machine and am fairly experienced in very basic sewing. I was doing some hemming the other day and machine stopped-threads were a bit snarled up. I untangled and went to set off again but couldnt as the needle is not picking up bobbin thread. I have tried everything-new needle, new bobbin, new thread, different material, taking bobbin and the whole bobbin enclosure out and cleaning it. I am feeling like throwing it out of the window now....Ive even tried pushing the needle to one side to try and get it to "catch" the thread and manually trying to push the bobbin thread up through the feed dogs, adjusting stitch and bobbin tension-all to no avail...and it was all going so well...

Does anyone have any other ideas ? Any suggestions most welcome.

Thanks Sandy-yes Ihave the manual but its no help.
How would I know if its the timing and how would it have been damaged?
