EASY GIFTS ~ Sewing Machine Dust Cover with Opening for Handle Tutorial

[@joyfulhope4474]

Your cover looks very nice. Love the fabric. Handle came out beautifully. Thank you for this tutorial. Very helpful.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you so much!

[@lindag3663]

Thank you so much for this tutorial - I now have a perfect cover for my sewing machine!

[@ilener.3450]

I so enjoy watching you; you are wonderful! I’m so tired of people demonstrating sloppy/incorrect techniques to novices! You talk like we are in the room with you, always making people feel comfortable. You make mistakes & explain how to correct it .... showing that no one is perfect, all the while showing how wonderful the world of sewing is. Don’t stop you are a great teacher!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you so much! I appreciate that! I enjoy showing people what I do and hopefully in a comfortable manner. No fussy striving for perfection in this sewing room, but enjoying the process and relaxing along the way!

[@viviennewsummersun4301]

That's just what I needed Jean, I have no cover on my machine. I love the way you constructed the handle opening. I'll definitely give it a go, I love the fabric you used too. Thanks for sharing 💐

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

You are most welcome Vivienne:)

[@silviathomas3224]

Good on you Jean for having a go and sharing this experience with us all. I have just made my first cover for my first machine after watching you. Thanks for sharing your ideas, thoughts and everything.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thanks so much Silvia:) And more thanks for taking time to watch me:)

[@janetcorder44]

Really nice cover and you make it look easy.....And yes that McCalls fabric soooo pretty.....I may have to try making this but will not use the foam you used. I will use a fusible batting...Thanks again for sharing.

[@WiseLady7]

Jean, your sewing machine cover pattern is exactly what I needed! I was searching all over KZbin for a simple basic sewing machine cover with an opening for a handle that doesn't require a lining.....then bam! Your video ended up in my KZbin search results! I'm planning to add pockets to my cover to house some of my favorite scissors and notions. Thank you so much for posting this video! ❤ By the way, I read on a sewing resource website that recommends pre-shrinking the fabric via pre-washing BEFORE fusing it with fusible foam. Your vintage fabric may have been treated with a chemical coating that may have caused it to shrink when heat from the iron hit it, resulting in excessive fabric wrinkles, buckles or bubbles as well as preventing the fusible foam to adhere correctly to your vintage fabric. In the future, try pre-washing your fabric FIRST, and let it thoroughly dry. Then follow Pellon's instructions on how to use fusible foam on fabric. The fusible foam should adhere to the fabric perfectly without excessive wrinkling, buckling or bubbling issues. Hope this helps.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Such good tips ~ thank you very much:)

I love it.

[@sherrypanick3106]

Thank you so much! I ordered some very pretty OTTERTEX canvas by mistake and I think I’ll use it to make my cover - it’s nice and stiff and should do nicely for this project. Love your perseverance!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Yes! That should do nicely! Thank you for watching my video, Sherry:)

Yes, Maxwell made fun of my old music! LOL! He has shown me how to get (copywrite free of course) music! :) So I'm game:)

[@pippibrennan3893]

Jean, yesterday I was just lugging around my mechanical machine and thought I need to make a cover with an opening for the handle and today you posted it! I also had the same experience with a Pellon fusible when I made a cover for my serger and I thought it was me! Thank you for the tutorials and for the joy you bring to the sewing community!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Perfect! I KNEW you need a cover with a handle opening!! LOL! Thank you for taking time to watch ~ and I'm glad it's not only me who had trouble.....Misery loves company! LOL! Thanks Pippi:)

[@ovettajackson8037]

[@valeriethompson5799]

There’s Maxwell. Hi Jean and Maxwell. Enjoying all of your videos. I need like six of these. When we left for two weeks vacation I just threw long pieces of fabric over my machines! Yours is so much prettier. Thank you Jean!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you Valerie:)

[@vickylongcrier2376]

I, too, had this problem with Pellon foam. That's when I started using Bosal fusible foam. No problems with a project wrinkling since. To fix one of the bags, I just quilted it and it made it look so much better. It hid much of the wrinkling on the bag. Thanks for doing these tutorials! They are giving me ideas to use up the time during this blasted pandemic! I already made 5 quilt tops and wanted to make other things too! Love the fabric! I think my mom made me a few of these dresses when I was small! I turn 62 this Christmas.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I MUST get the Bosal...I've heard of it, but have never used it. This was MOST disappointing!! But in the end, I'm quite pleased with the overall finished cover. Thanks Vicky:)

[@Suez_Yon]

I loved it. Thank you for this tutorial.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Aw thanks so much for watching me:)

[@1Susendy]

very good, the opening for the handle was exactly the same idea I had. no worries about the wrinkles it looks great

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Cool, thanks so much:)

[@jasmineledesma6939]

Jean love the finished product I can’t wait to give it a try

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Oh! Thank you so much:)

[@bevreader1005]

When I sew with iron on interfacing or iron on foam...I PRESS not iron. Press a few seconds then LIFT the iron, and continue. I found that when I ironed (moving the iron on the fabric) I got wrinkles. Press - Lift - Press. I totally love your humor. And I certainly need humor when sewing. Thank you!!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you! I'm an IRONER, but HAVE to learn to be a PRESSER!! LOL! LOL! Thanks for watching me:)

[@Angcompful]

Fabulous tutorial and outstanding cover,

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you kindly Angela:)

[@reenaroy5922]

Woww…so nicely you have explained the video. Thank you so much 😊

[@carolmadden5582]

You know what, Jean? I had the same problem with character tote bags, that I had made for my 4 grandkids. I fused the material to fusible fleece and there were a lot of places that didn’t fuse well, making it look wrinkly. Of course, I only noticed it when I had them all sewn together! But I’ll tell you what I found out. I think I should’ve washed the material itself , first, before fusing it, to remove whatever coating is on the material. I never tried that myself, but I read it somewhere. I contacted Pelion and the man that I spoke to, right away, said, “it was defective. We’ll send you another one”. I was not about to take the bags apart @ that point and had no desire to make 4 more, but if I ever do again, I’ll try washing the material first. I think you’re sewing machine cover looks great! Nobody would ever know, from the video, but I’m sure you do. We’re our own worst critics, aren’t we? I know I am! Thanks for your honesty!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Glad I'm not alone! But I HAVE used this product with great success before, so I really think I got a bad batch! Thank you very much Carol! I appreciate that;)

[@bettyking6912]

Thank you Jean, the cover looks great. I feel your frustration and disappointment with the wrinkles, and it takes away some of the joy of making something to show people. But, the handle placement is great, and gave me a lightbulb moment for what I should have done a couple of years ago. Thank you, and the fabric is just right for the cover too.

[@jzedalis]

Hi Jean! Great way to start my morning, listening to you. Another great tutorial. I have done hints for you though. Try Bo-nash fusible powder to fuse pretty much anything. Quilt layers, foam that doesn't want to fuse. Happens to me occasionally also. I do find that not using a pressing cloth works better for me. The Bo-nash is awesome stuff. It is a very light weight polymer like the use in featherweight fusible. But you control the amount. it never gums up my sewing machine needle like basting spray does and sometimes basting spray even shreds my thread. There's also a ton of other uses for it go out to their website but I bought my powder from Walmart that was the cheapest place to get it and I bought two containers and after three years I still have some it goes a long way. If your cover bothers you that much you should just go ahead and quilt it. That way you can enjoy looking at it. Thanks for the tutorial and I hope you're having a great day.

[@jzedalis]

Oh and I bought it online at Walmart not in the store

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thanks Judy! I will most certainly look it up! Sound like an awesome product:)

[@brendabiffibaldovino8306]

I still have the plastic wrap that was on my machine covering mine (disgraceful!) so I definitely need to make one of these!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Wow, that looked like hard work Jean, but the result was worth it. I’m glad my machine came with its own cover, don’t think I’d have the patience, well done.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@cheshkat6321]

My new sewing machine also came with a cover. That doesn't deter me from making a custom cover. Sometimes, sewing projects are not about creating something because it doesn't exist. We can create things that are beautiful, reflect our personalities, and provide useful pockets. I'm totally in when it comes to adding pockets to as many things as I can in my life. I also know that it would be impossible for someone to have the exact same sewing machine cover as what I will make.

I like seeing Maxwell popping in to say Hi.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]
