it mostly fucks up with Nylon threading, I've been using one of those singer heavy duties off amazon, did I make a shitty mistake with what machine I bought?

I can’t say for certain as I’ve only ever used cotton thread. I think your best bet is to read the owner’s manual for your machine if it came with one or try to find one online.

I learned this the hard way when Ms. Confederate Woman and I started quilting. My machine is an old Brother that was given to me some time ago. Done a couple with it, but I have to roll them up when they start getting big in order to feed them.




I’ve always traced the pattern onto wax paper so that the pattern I bought is the master and doesn’t get destroyed.

Get a big roll of oaktag, the kind pros use is green on one side and beige on the other.

It is sturdier and easier to trace patterns off of. Once you have a perfect pattern for something like pants you can have that forever.

My machine hates bonded nylon thread but sews fine with cotton. Your machine might just not be built for that kind of heavy thread if the tension is fine with others.

Wandering over from another thread where indie pattern design companies were mentioned to ask: what nice pattern companies have you found outside the big four?
Bonus points if they do things that either are for or actually adjust well for petite height range.

I always liked Timeless Classics, but her patterns are for historical clothes
