I'd like to start making some zippered pullouts and drawcord stuff sacks. I've read a few threads to get some info but I am ignorant when it comes to machines and which materials to use. My wife has a cheap machine (Brother LX 2500). I am hoping it is sufficient to get started, I'd like to make my own shelter down the road once I get some smaller things under my belt. what thread do I use, do I use standard bobbin or something different, what material is best for ultrlight pullouts, what stitch pattern do I use, needle size? The machine will do button holes for drawcord stuff. I'm sure this has been asked many times so I apologize and if there is a couple threads you know of that answer my questions please point me in that direction. Seems like it would be pretty easy to make stuff custom and for cheaper, plus I enjoy tinkering.
