If a forum say 'this forum is unmoderated' what would your perception be

A) Post and threads are left untouched by moderators
B) Every now and then a moderator will intervine and lock a thread or remove a post.


The reason I ask is because I'm on a forum that says "This forum is unmoderated" yet from time to time a thread will be moderated via being locked or have a post removed.

When I asked I got told oh it's not got a moderator to look at ever post and thread but occasssionally a moderator will step in

Surely that's what moderated means or am I being completely stupid.:oops:

I know this forum is moderated as we have moderator's just like on my own forum.

I would never put a sign up saying 'This forum is unmoderated' when in fact I might have to moderate the odd thread or post occassionally as I would see that as being false.

What do you lovely people think?

I went to Sunbury today and dropped in to see Nada at Sunbury Dance. In the course of conversation she mentioned she has a supplier of very stiff net in lots of colours. She is quite happy to sell it by the metre and was happy for me to pass on her details to TSF members, email sunburydanceshop@aol.com
Price will be similar to Spotlight.

Where do people recommend for getting cheap bulk fabric for making toile (I think thats the right word, the cheap mock up to check a pattern).

Hi, can anyone help? I design and sell my soft window furnishings on a online site. I have noticed recently, that someone else that does soft furnishings has copied my designs, TWICE! I feel really angry :-x about this and it feels like she is stealing from me. Just wondered if anyone knows how I can go about protecting my designs? Thank you. :smile:

Does anyone have for sale an Phoenix electric sewing Machine in good working order.

Did anyone watch this ?
Briefly UK versus China in the manufacture of cushions. It's an excellent insight into what is happening in the textile trade and China is rapidly the country that is becoming non competetive. Well worth the watch to see and understand how hard these ladies work, all for the grand sum of £6.09 per hr.

I am about to embark on my first garment made from jersey.

It's only a t-shirt so there isn't that much fabric but I am having real problems laying it out ready for cutting.

The selveges are rolling in and won't lay flat despite pressing and I don't see how to square off the fabric so that I can fold it propoerly for the centre front and back.The fabric just seems to have a will of it's own.

Has anyone who is more experienced with working with jersey any tips for me.

The sewing isn't a problem as I have altered several t-shirts in the past - it's just the fabric in the raw which I can't control.

Is it ' Women are from Venus and Men are from Mars.....' or is it 'reverse tailoring'?

Daughter and I visited a local retail shopping outlet on Sunday where we passed a shop advertising made to measure suits and this was their window display.

Have I been sitting at the wrong side of the machine for all these years?

All they're cracked up to be? I fancy a pair of 5" tailor's points. Any other recommendations?

Thanks :)

im off on hols soon to crete and feeling slightly thing about this whole currency staying in euro's or not. so been looking at prepaid travel cards such as this caxton fx global card. anyone used this or 1 similar?

Anyone know what type of fabric it is. Is it stiffish like regular linen or flowy.

I'm getting used to these - the memory blanks that go with the rest of the advancing decrepitude. But this has got me a bit freaked.
I made up a Vogue pattern about 20 years ago, which I liked, but lost. I had the urge to make it again, saw it on ebay a year or so ago, missed it on the final bid - watched out for it for a while, then pretty much gave up. On Monday I got back home from a couple of weeks away, an envelope waiting on the dining room table with the pattern in it. I have no recollection of ordering it, and can't find it in my ebay accounts.
I'll go and lie down now in case when I wake up its all been a dream.

The base of a wedding dress I was going to make, was with Vogue 2717. The pattern I have is size 12-16/38 bust but when I measured bride to be today she is 41" bust with 47" hips. I could have used the pattern and re-drew a size and half up but the hips would need 3 and a half sizes bigger!
Is this possible to do or would it be easier to buy a new pattern?
Problem is, that pattern is now discontinued and there is nothing else similar on the go, with a train, checked ebay too and there is none for sale in the bigger size.....advice anyone????

Does anyone what the difference is between the Janome Walking Foot and the Rotary Even Foot? What would I use each of them for?

Morning, crafters! I'm less than a year into my sewing skills, but this forum just proved too exciting to skip on. I look forward to knowing all of you :)
