It just took me a while to find a combination my machine liked - sometimes I just use a gold color regular thread for the buttonholes and bartacks. 3/21/12 9:55 PM

kjcaron said... Thank you all for the nice words! I will see if I can find more information on shortening the crotch depth....thank you for the pointer! And I will definitely try a different brand of thread next time. I don't know why I didn't do that this time. 3/22/12 5:05 PM
