I decided to change machines and use the Borletti to make this. I have to say I wish I had stuck to the Necchi! The Borletti is very sleek and even comes with cams but I think the thread is getting caught somewhere and there seems also to be a bit of a lack of speed control. I don't remember having either of those problems last time I sewed with that machine but maybe I've just got more finicky.
Finally an overview of the Galactic satin.
Maybe if I get time tomorrow I will post some construction details for it. The satin is sliding all over the place and absolutely nothing is staying lined up for more than approximately a second, I think I'm going insane trying to get seams the same length! I've also managed to upset my overlocker tonight, something I will hopefully be able to resolve tomorrow morning when I'm not so tired!
Sounds like an intergalactic battle... but I know you'll win.

Yes, that sums it up...!
DeleteA Borletti is a powerful machine, when I tested mine the table vibrates, hang on to it.
