I hate over thinking my projects! Take a deep breath and let me think this through for you. First, my catcher is the larger size but it doesn’t fully cover the entire length and width of my machine. It does sit comfortably under the feet on the base of the machine to hold it in place. Second, I went ahead and measured my machine for comparison. It’s 13.5” Deep and 13” Wide. So mine is actually slightly larger than yours. Which means the width is about 2.5” shorter than my machine’s width & about 5” shorter than the depth. So if you’re ok with it not covering the entire width, then you should be good to go with the larger size. However if you prefer to cover the entire body width and depth, I think 22”x12.5” for the backing and 11”x17” for the basket should do the trick. This will give you the larger and deeper basket. Keep in mind that 11” is the height of the basket & 22” is the length of the entire thing. Let me know if this makes sense to you. :-)

Because you will create the 6th panel with smaller pieces to create the section that stabilizes your tablet. Does that make sense?

What you see in the video is 1” wide but you can use any width you have on hand.

Your first sewing project when we get you a machine?

Thanks Boo

Thank you! ☺️

It sure did!

Nope! You definitely need 4 threads for this to work properly. It’s a super easy trick!

You shouldn’t have a zig zag on the back. This is a straight stitch technique. So you’re probably doing it right!

Thank you! It was definitely a pleasure to see my vision pan out!

You know… I think they took away that option. What a bummer!! If you have Instagram and want to tag me, I would love to share your project!

The idea came from one I had with my very first serger and did not last long at all! So I totally get the “do I want to make something to fix it or replace it? Nah! Maybe later!” Vibes. 🤣🤣🤣

Yes! It’s so hard to find ones for books that are what we actually have in mind. The fabric was from Joanna’s probably a decade ago! I had bought it to make my daughter a dress so this was leftovers. I haven’t tried this one with the elastic but it would totally work the same way!

If you can double check the manual. On some of my older machines in the past there were hidden compartments that parts were meant to fit into. I’m just not familiar with your specific machine.

Hmmm… are the threads coming out of the guides during sewing? And are you threading them one at a time?

It’s close to the same idea, but only measure the amount you want to bring in. For example if it’s across the whole back and the distance from side to side is 14 in, that would be the amount you would use to make your calculations. Does that make sense? Then I would sew down one side, feed through, then sew down the other side.

Sounds like there is a jam somewhere in the machine. Try opening the bobbin plate first to see if there is anything in there that would stop the needle for being able to move smoothly.

Yes! My daughter was quick to point that out too!

Unfortunately, I do not have my own video. That’s because the pattern is someone else’s! You can purchase the pattern from Sewn Ideas here: www.sewnideas.com/product-page/book-sleeve-with-2-pockets-in-2-sizes

Glad you like them! 🥰

Confident beginner, yes! As a first project I wouldn’t just because it can be a little tricky doing your topstitching around the heart

It’s inside the video description!

I used Fusible Fleece in the video but I’d also recommend a fusible woven like SF 101. The purpose is to give it more structure. I haven’t tried it with this but I have with others. Using a second layer of woven fabric and sewing it in could help as well.

I do not, but that is interesting! I’ll have to add that to my “great ideas” list!
