Did you sew that hole in your pants yet?
---------------------------------------------------------------
Your question may be stupid but ask it anyway.Pin this thread, it's sew good.>>2900455
The largest capacitor (C in the pic) is for preventing brushes from sparking which at the first place causes uncomfortable ozone smell while sewing and secondly causes brushes to wear out faster. Another capacitors are for kind of grounding and preventing radio frequency noise that could occur since the sparking brushes can generate random frequencies.I was trying out a pattern for a hat, for one piece the pattern was like a half-pattern where the fabric is to be folded in half, then cut, then folded open again to get the full piece, a symmetric shape.
Now this is all well and good but I found it particularly difficult to cut two layers of fabric without the layers moving in different directions. I don't have a rotary cutter, maybe that makes things easier?
I used shears, I ended up putting a loose running stitch close to the marked lines and then cut, which worked fine but it's a bit more hassle.
What's the proper way to cut multiple layers without shit moving about?>>2904716
Sewing pins, anon. You hold the layers of fabric (and the paper itself to the fabric) with pins.>>2904714
I know the smell, I've smelled it on another machine that makes a lot of crackling noises when powered on, you can hear the sparks flying, it's a machine that still has a capacitor but I reckon it's out of order.
This machine though, it doesn't spark, or smell at all and runs without noises so I think it's fine, but again, if I come across a cap I will replace it, I found one online that's similar in rating but I can't be arsed to shell out 20 euros for it.>>2904698
Dont make me ground you.
