My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

stitches from machine not even? tension?

11 years ago

Straight stitches seem fine, but other patterned stitches such as overcasting, blind hem, and so on are sometimes wider or not even. Is it due to tension difference? too tight? too loose? thanks
