Re: SmartFlix--the NetFlix for All Crafters
I have had good luck with Smart Flix although I question their method of immediately charging your credit card even though their is a 30 day wait for the video. Loved the Islander series!

Along with buttonholes, I have avoided patterns that I liked because they had zippers! This video was great, a definate I Can Do It!

I never knew that I should have the pressure foot down when I adjust the tension. I have an old Bernina "Sport" which I bought new as an extra machine "long, long ago". I do have the machine regularly serviced, and haven't ever had a repair, but the machanic always tells me to "not touch the tension" when I pick it up. It just has a + - dial that is really impossible to read in increments. This will be a useful way for me to test the tension should anything go awry, without getting any comment from the machine tech!

I never knew that there was an option to the catch stitch, but I can see its usefulness; a lot less thread in half the time!
