woot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Guess what i got a over locker!!!!!! omg i am so so excited!! and best of it it was free. now for me to figure out how to work the thing.
So what did i do went and brought some stuff so i can try to make my own fitted nappies, tired b4 with a normal machine and it just wasnt as nice.
PP- as long as its at least 80% wool, wool is wool!!! but DD ones are stunning, i have two

Ness if you need any pointers just give me a yell. How did you score a free overlocker?
PP, Are the longieson DDU the Kozy designs? If so you will find them a thinner ply then others. I have a a couple of Kozy designs & have no issues but have found them a little more prone to compression leaks if sitting on your hip with a very wet nappy LOL.
Lime, No my longies never showed

Fj- my grandparents have been pn the prowl for me for ages and they found one in the paper. so they went down there this morning and got talking to the couple (i think they told them all about me and my marriage prob etc) and the lady said well as we cant find the manual and dont know anythign about it just take it,
Its a pfaff hobbylock 783 model, so is a few year sold but seems to be in great nic, very clean on the inside.
i got the manual off the net (gotta love google) and have threaded it, it is all colour coded but for some reason its just not picking up the stich (like with a normal sew machine the bobbin thread is the bottom stich) so yeah am a little confused. i will have a fiddle with it later and see what i can do
if not i will bug you on msn!!! lol
BellyBelly Life Member - Love all your MCN friends
Pink - i am confused - you ask questions about MCN, i do my best to answer them (if i have ideas on those topics, then you post the same or similar question the next day. Not sure if you don't understand my answers or if you don't see my replies. I'm unsure.
for example, your questions today, i answered yesterday (cos you asked them also in last few days. My reply to your questions yesterday is found in this post
https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...7-post232.html
(it's a few pages back, so to save you searching for it, i've just put a link (hope this is allowed mods - i have gotten in trouble before for posting links).
I gave you places to look for photos to help you choose woolly stuff, websites that educate you on how to use wool for nights, all kinds of stuff, how to measure the rise, etc.
If my answers are gobblygook to you, just say, and i will try and re-express them in a different way. I'm sure i use way too much MCN jargon! remind me to un-jargon if i type out stuff that is clear as mud to you ok, cos i don't INTENTIONALLY try and confuse you. (if that's what it all boils down to).

PMSL...

Christ.. I need this baby out before I turn out with absolutely no friggin intelligence.. lol

Oh, i am so tired, i read that as if you were EATING a delicious chocolate LOL!!!
how many days are you "over" now Mel?
I now leave the night longies "too long" on purpose (i used to hem them all up) cos i figure, the extra length just keeps bilby's feet warmer.
i use her biggest, longest longies for night (to totally cover the bulkier night nappies) and use the smaller, shorter in the leg longies for the day (over the less bulky day fitteds).
NESSA - i use a very old overlocker from the 1960's!!!! I am such a dunce, my technically minded dh reads the manual and does the threading for me - it is beyond me - otherwise i'd help you out in a heartbeat! My best MCN sewing has been done when i had access to BOTH a sewing machine and an overlocker SIMULUTANEOUSLY.
I think it is possible to do it all (well, get it done) with only a sewing machine, but for some bits, you don't get the neat finishing off you get with the overlocker. If you sew inside out (turn and topstitch i think is the Sewing Jargon for that), i suppose it doesn't really matter, cos no-one will see when you're done. but being a obsessive compulsive type person, things like that bug me. Prolly has lots to do with me being a wonky cutter outerer, i love how the overlocker neatens up my wonky cutting out!!
