Hi, everyone. I have a Janome sewing machine. I was recently sewing denim that was too thick for the machine but I was forcing it. I really wanted to make a purse with denim. Well, now the machine doesn't sew correctly. The bobbin thread doesn't do anything. I've tried adjusting the tension to every setting. It doesn't make a difference. The bobbin thread is easily pulled out and my machine is now useless. Can someone help me to fix it? I can't afford to take it to a shop to get it fixed by a professional.

Does anyone know where I can find a pattern to crochet this hat or any hats like it? Such a cute hat. Thanks.

I recently took a class on African hair braiding. It was in a library so the instructor couldn't show us how to burn the ends.

I've put braids in my own hair but I don't know how to burn the ends the way they do in a salon. I just wrap rubberbands around the ends.

When I tried to burn the ends of the braids, it just looked burnt and terrible and didn't hold together. I still had to put rubberbands on the ends.

I have never seen anyone do this and I don't know how to do it. Can someone please explain this to me?

I just want to make a basic soap with just glycerine and coconut oil, no fragrances or colors. Does anyone know where I can get a recipe for that?

Also, I've never made soap before but I've been doing a lot of research about it. Does homemade soap last longer than store bought soap?

I buy a glycerine and coconut oil soap for $1 for 4 oz. Is this expensive? Can I make it at home cheaper?
