Agreed. As a new owner of a VS2 this 3rd week of January 2025, I’m psyched! ❤️

@@DaveHarrington-y6r you are very welcome!

@@debrapardue6350 if you send your request to my email, I can link you to a demo video that is not public.😉 [email protected]

@@redoak3809 that is a singer bulb standard screw in base. It helps if you have the old bulb to compare it to the one you are buying. If you shop online, then make sure you search with the model and year of your machine.

@@sarjenka I'm not sure why you are having this problem. It is working fine for everyone else. Maybe try watching on a different device?

@@TheMarceleitor I'm putting the needle through the fabric again to give it more strength.

I just figured it thanks.

There is no need to change the stitch length because the feed dogs are dropped down. You are in total control of the stitch length with how fast or slow you move the fabric in accordance with how fast or slow you run the machine.😉

It is the same instructions! Some of them came out a little off center.

@@TheMasquerade But how to make the one with 8 points instead of 4?

@@digging4roots this does have 8 points. If you measure very carefully from the center out to the edges when marking your points, your project will come out with 8 identical points. Just give it a try. You'll see.😉

Yes, it's still possible to buy a new shuttle and extra bobbins. You might not need to though. When you pull the thread down the slot to the bottom point on the shuttle, make sure you give it a real tug - while holding your finger on the top of the bobbin in the shuttle so it doesn't spin. I have a couple shuttles that are fussy like this. Make sure the shuttle is very clean. If there is a bit of lint or thread caught inside, it will stop the thread from following the correct path. ;) Hope this helps!

@@KatieWalker-o4d I'm away at a quilt retreat right now and will be back in my studio on Oct 21st. I can get back to you then.😉 Please send me an email to remind me! [email protected]

@@chicagololab1026 several things! Paper clips, binding clips, Hershey Kisses or M&M's, glue pen refills, extra bobbins filled and ready, marking pencils, bite size Snickers bars, rotary cutters with refills and a "used box". Did I say chocolate?! LOL

@@maesinger1444 none of the hand crank machines will tie the stitch off for you - unless it has a reverse lever. Mine does not. In order to "lock" the stitch at the beginning and end of each seam, I take 2 stitches, lift the presser foot, pull the work back to the beginning and stitch over those 2 stitches again - then keep on stitching to the end of the seam. Then once again, I pull the work to go back over the last 2 stitches If you don't like that method, then adjust your stitch length to be very short and then you don't need to "back tack" - the very short stitches won't pull out. Hope that helps! 😉

Thanks Josh - I appreciate the input from you and the other 7 thousand viewers who said the same thing. My videos no longer have music. This one was the first tutorial I ever posted.

​@@TheMasquerade That's great to hear. Rather than moving on to other teachers, I'll check some of your other videos out. I liked your style, but couldn't stand the noise.

@@rebeccapurvis4481 my other videos that are public are mostly just shorts on how the quilts go together in 2 minutes or less. They are not really tutorials, so they do have background music. However, my class videos that you have to pay for never have music. You can find them on my website: TheMasquerade.net/shop

Glad you enjoyed it! It was fun watching them figure it out!
