Chubby girls. Sexy and beautiful!
Men have always liked, like and will like it when they have everything - “totally full” ...
This is how we men live, breathing life full chest. We love to live! We also love our beautiful women. We love them day and night. Especially at night ... But often worries us, men, excessive thinness of our girlfriends.
What a beautiful plump woman! It's a pleasure to look at - and a portly, and a busty one, and makes such intricate movements with a round booty that, as if enchanted, we look - it's impossible to break away. And our thin girlfriends are only angry and lose weight even more from jealousy. 
Chubby women do not have feminine charms "separately." Their whole body is pure pleasure for men. How pleasant it is to stroke the elastic hills and gently touch the mysterious hollows, without fear to feel for another protruding bone. 
A plump woman has very beautiful body lines. Whether she stands with her hips on her hips, sits without touching the back of a chair, or lies in an unscented dressing gown, looking languidly and playing with a curl of her hair - the whole body is drawn with a smooth line of different thickness, repeating spectacular forms. 
The line does not break off somewhere - it slides, circling over the body, and hides in it as a riddle for men. Men love such feminine riddles. 
Chubby women are good both in love and in the household. They are solid and reliable. If it happens, she will touch the door jamb with her shoulder ... And what? Never mind! In the worst case, the jamb will respond with a booming sound of solid construction. In the same situation, a thin woman will exclaim plaintively in response to a crunch in her weak shoulder. 
Men see their cherished “full-full” in plump women. They see a full plate of rich borscht and a piece of roasted meat with cold vodka. They see fluffed pillows and the promising look of an ardent girlfriend. 
Men do not hear from plump women boring talk about some kind of diet. Chubby women are not fat! They are truly feminine. They are cheerful and cheerful! 
Thin ones are whiny and sad... I feel sorry for thin women. 
If a thin “creature” suddenly wanders into my light, I will regret it and let it into the house. I will offer a hot bath - let it warm up. Look, it's alive. 
Drink warm milk with honey - for a beautiful complexion and healthy body. I will feed you delicious cookies. 
I will put to sleep next to me, carefully covering with a second blanket. I will carefully tuck the blanket in so that the energy does not completely leave her frail little body. Let him sleep peacefully - strength is gaining. 
Mornings are wiser than evenings... Maybe I'll leave her in the house for half a year. I'll fatten. Maybe something worthwhile female will come out of it. not thin
The first question that everyone who decides to buy their first sewing machine should ask themselves is “Do I really need it?” Well, yes, at the labor lessons of all the girls, it seems like they even taught something to sew, build patterns and overcast buttonholes, but this knowledge has long been firmly forgotten as completely useless: it’s easier to buy a thing than to painstakingly cut, adjust to a figure, calculate the size of tucks , sew on buttons. If you firmly know that you want to sew all your own clothes, including coats and two-piece suits, think about how much time, effort and money this magical, but, alas, laborious task will take you.
Singer made a chic antique styling
So, no one and nothing can stop you on the way to your chosen goal, you are sure that you will be able to cope with patterns, material, threads and various stitches, you want to buy a tool right now. And you are one hundred percent convinced that after the first disappointment in your skills, you will not put the sewing machine on the mezzanine, in the far corner, or sell it to your girlfriend. Then let's get started. Let's start dating.
Types of sewing machines
Sewing a pillowcase is very easy, hemming a sheet is also very easy, but what about trousers or a skirt made of knitted fabric? That's just it, that you first need to see which car can do what, and then make a conclusion what to buy. For the most simple work, a mechanical or electromechanical machine will do, and sewing, for example, a ball gown on prom would require an expensive powerful computer-controlled machine.
Beauty, clever girl, she will show everything, she will teach everything
Electromechanical machines
Units with a mechanical selection of seams are the most unpretentious of modern sewing machines. The choice of the type of seam and adjustment are set by the wheel on the front panel; all processes are signed, even an inexperienced craftswoman will cope with the management. Electromechanical machines come with swinging vertical, rotary horizontal and vertical shuttles.
A vertical oscillating (oscillating) shuttle is used in cheap appliances. Such machines vibrate strongly, sew not very fast and not very well, while the stitch width is limited to 5 mm.
The other two types are very similar: they do not require lubrication, their vibration is several times less than that of a machine with an oscillating hook, the lower thread is less tangled, the stitch width reaches 7 mm. A nice bonus from a machine with a horizontal rotary hook (aka a horizontal double-running hook) will be a transparent window on the needle plate, through which you can see how much thread is left on the bobbin, and threading the bobbin into it is easier than into a machine with a vertical hook. Professionals recommend exactly the horizontal location of the shuttle: in such machines, a straight line comes out better, moreover, they can process fabric sections.
Sewing machine with horizontal rotary hook
But the horizontal hook has one small but unpleasant drawback: it is inconvenient to adjust the tension of the lower thread - to get to the screw, you need to remove the needle plate, while the vertical rotary hook (sometimes called the double-running vertical hook) does not need such difficulties.
Electronic machines
Eyelet buttonholes, elastic and decorative stitches, embroidered monograms, borders on fabric, blind hemming - this is not a complete list of what an electronic sewing machine with a built-in microprocessor can do. She knows the approach to the most capricious materials, suggesting which needle, type and stitch length to choose for silk, velveteen and crepe de chine. Some models can move the fabric not only back and forth, but also to the right and left, which gives a stitch width of up to 9 mm - these devices can already be called sewing machines with the possibility of embroidery. Asterisks, flowers, oblique stitches, and of arbitrary size, made by such an aggregate, manufacturers call "maxi-patterns"; they are already included in the program, their quality and quantity depends only on the capabilities of the sewing machine and the imagination of designers.
Such machines have a push-button control unit and a display that displays all the information: the selected program, adjustment settings, the Sewing Advisor help and prompt system.
He knows what to do
If you decide not to spare money for an expensive automatic sewing machine, then be sure to check if the kit includes an overlocker for overcasting and trimming fabric sections.
Sewing and embroidery machines with computer control
Serious devices for professionals, the most expensive and smart. They have automatic upper and lower thread tension adjustment, an embroidery unit, detailed multicolor embroidery patterns, seven or more types of buttonholes, and programs include up to five hundred types of various operations. The needle moves in different directions, so the machine can embroider with a cross, satin stitch, create cutwork, scallops, hemstitch. If you buy special software, you can connect a computer to it and create embroideries according to your own design or download embroidery patterns and programs from the Internet.
Pfaff makes a patchwork
On these machines, there is either a small information display, which displays only the number and basic parameters of the sewing operation, or a touch-sensitive liquid crystal display. With it, you can compose and store in memory a sequence of already programmed operations, invent your own lines, get advice on how best to perform a particular action or choose desired number needles.
On the body of the sewing and embroidery machine, there are only shortcut keys: for example, automatic stitching, reverse, thread trimming.
What a decent sewing machine should be able to do
Straight stitch, zigzag for the edges of the fabric, sewing buttonholes - is that all? Nothing happened. There are many, many more functions without which a modern sewing machine simply has no right to exist.
Working stitches
There must be many. Elementary and complex, they help to sew things from any materials. Most often, masters, and beginners too, use nine types of lines:
- straight line;
- zigzag;
- elastic zigzag for elastic;
- elastic stitching for knitted fabrics,
- reinforced straight stitch;
- reinforced zigzag;
- overcast line;
- line for an invisible hem;
- elastic stitching for an invisible hem.
Decorative stitches
Electromechanical machines are back in the air: decorative stitches are few and too simple. Electronic ones can boast of the ability to make simple embroideries, ornamental elements, scallops, openwork patterns. Sewing and embroidery look down on them, proud of their own ability to create monograms in Latin and Russian letters, mirror the line vertically and horizontally, as well as memory, where you can enter combinations of letters and decorative elements. And very rare and complex models can even embroider a line drawn on the screen.
loops
Slotted linen loops can be made even by electromechanical machines. Some models can only cope with semi-automatic mode, but most still have automatic mode available, in exact accordance with the size of the button.
Electronic and sewing-embroidery machines work with automatic buttonholes. In the models of European manufacturers, the master himself sets the millimeters of dimensions, and in the machines of Husqvarna and Pfaff there is an ingenious device that checks whether the loop is accurately sewn; in Japanese machines, the button is inserted into a special gauge. Ten types of loops - this is far from the limit! True, not all of them are constantly used. Most often, tailors sew on sewing machines linen buttonholes, eyelet buttonholes, knitwear buttonholes, suit buttonholes and buttonholes with rounded edges; made a loop once, brought its parameters into memory - the machine itself will make as many identical loops as you like.
Thread tension
So that the seam does not tear, does not bulge, and it is pleasant to admire it, the upper and lower threads should be intertwined in the material itself, and not on its surface. To adjust the lower thread, there is a special screw on the shuttle, and the upper one is a simple mechanism located on the front panel of the sewing machine.
Needle threader
If you need to change, say, a white thread to a black one, or you can’t see well, a needle threader will come to the rescue.
Automatic needle threader
Pass the thread through its hooks, press or lower (the design is different) a special lever, pull the loop. Done, you can continue to sew.
Top feed dog
Silk, chiffon, viscose often create problems: two pieces of matter move, the seam becomes uneven. Checkered and striped fabrics can also cause a lot of trouble: either the lines do not match, or the cell turns into a polygonal figure in one movement. In order to prevent such disgrace, manufacturers have long come up with an upper fabric conveyor, which is responsible for the length of the stitch, moving the material between needle punctures.
The conveyor is fixed instead of the foot and helps to move the material. Most often, it is removable, and only with a universal foot, and only in Pfaff models is the conveyor built-in, it doesn’t care about any foot - whichever you put, it will work with that one.
Presser foot pressure on fabric
To make a good stitch, you need to determine how firmly the presser foot should press the material. On ordinary fabrics, she simply must press hard, on knitted fabric - much weaker, otherwise the fabric will stretch. In electromechanical machines, a special spring is responsible for the pressure; in electronic and computer it is regulated automatically.
Particularly thick material is also easy to sew: the presser foot lift reaches 12 mm.
If the machine already has an upper fabric conveyor, then it is quite possible to do without a pressure regulator: the conveyor itself will provide an excellent even line.
Electronic needle puncture force stabilizer
Sewing materials have different density and thickness. So that you can carefully and gently work with delicate fabrics and securely stitch jeans or artificial leather, the sewing machine must have a needle piercing force stabilizer.
Needle position switch
With it, the needle will stop either in the extreme upper or in the extreme lower position.
Sleeve platform
Legs, cuffs and sleeves are difficult to sew. Therefore, it is better to choose a machine with a sleeve platform: it will be possible to remove part of the working table and calmly fiddle with these recalcitrant fabric tubes.
Sewing speed adjustment
It all depends on the force of pressing the pedal of the electric drive and the model of the sewing machine. Speed control can be stepwise or smooth, with jerk protection. Husqvarna, Brother and Janome produce cars without a pedal, just with a start / stop button and a speed control lever.
Reverse
So that the line does not move apart, it must be fixed. In expensive and good machines, there is a separate function “Automatic fastening of the stitch”, and in cheap, but decent ones, you have to save yourself by reverse, that is, sewing in the opposite direction.
Automatic reinforcement stitching
It happens not in all models, but it's a pity: a very useful thing. At the beginning and end of the stitch, the machine will secure the stitch itself, and the seam will not unravel.
Automatic thread trimming
The automatic thread cutter will cut the upper and lower threads and raise the needle to its highest position when the button is pressed.
Automatic presser foot lift
When you finish sewing, the presser foot will go up without you having to do it. If it seems that you can do without this function, turn it off without any problems and use hand or knee levers to raise the foot.
It is he who will tell you which thread, needle, foot to choose for sewing this or that thing. And if you bought a high-end model, then it will show a picture of how to use it all and in what order.
Overlocks
Did you know that a sewing machine, no matter how beautiful, expensive and solid, only imitates a real overlock stitch? Unbelievable, but it is a fact. True, the overlock will not replace the sewing machine, because it is intended only for processing the edges of products, but it will wonderfully complement it. Having bought it, you can cope with almost any fabric: natural silk, viscose, velvet. And for stretchy fabrics - knitted fabric - you need a carpet.
Overlock Janome ML 714
The overlock does not have a shuttle, there is only a looper, which makes the seam. The more loopers, the more varied the stitches.
Two loopers
In inexpensive simple overlocks, there are two loopers: upper and lower. They sew a three-thread overlock stitch (narrow and wide), a three-thread flatlock seam (narrow and wide), a three-thread border, a three-thread rolled hem. If you add a second needle, you get a four-thread overlock seam - they are sewn together and at the same time overcast the shear edges of knitted fabrics.
Double seam convector
In models more complicated and higher in price, a convector is built in - a small metal bracket on the upper looper. It is needed for processing the edges of light, thin or elastic materials; two-thread seams made by him look much neater than three-thread ones. Overlock with a convector sews a two-thread narrow overcasting seam, a two-thread Flatlock flatlock seam (wide and narrow), a two-thread border, a two-thread rolled hem and a two-needle three-thread overcasting seam.
Chain stitch looper
If you add another lower looper - a chain stitch looper, then at the output we get a very expensive overlock, often called a coverlock. It can make flat seams with 2- or 3-needle parallel stitching and multi-thread overedge cut on the wrong side, that is, the overlocker will work like a cover stitching machine. Those who want to sew pajamas, underwear or T-shirts need just such an overlock: the seams will not rub the skin.
Carpetlock Singer 14T968DC
The chainstitch looper overlock is able to create a very strong and elastic straight stitch. It is called so - a chain seam; it is used to grind knitted fabrics and clothing details, which account for the greatest load: for example, they sew a belt on jeans.
The chainstitch looper, working together with the overlock loopers, makes a stitching-overlock stitch. If you look at your jeans, you will see that the side seams are exactly that, and five-thread.
For less loose fabrics, experts advise taking not a five-thread, but a four-thread seam.
Upper thread guides
The manufacturer built a top threader into the model - the price skyrocketed. This looper can make double-sided decorative flat seams. The number of threads in them reaches ten: for example, one of the Pfaff carpet locks is capable of seven decorative seams, even a flat ten-thread three-needle.
Differential conveyor
Everyone who has had a chance to sew or just wear things from knitted fabric knows that this fabric is stretched. If there is no differential feed in the overlock, then the line will go in waves. Sometimes this effect is needed, but in most cases it is not.
The differential conveyor consists of two combs: one is installed in front of the needles, the other behind them. The fabric feed regulator moves the combs so that the fabric sits or, on the contrary, stretches when sewing.
Threading
The title of the most inconvenient operation in working with overlocks is rightfully refueling the lower looper. In cheap models, it turns into a kind of Chinese torture in half with a circus performance: it requires a fair amount of finger flexibility and manual dexterity. To save your nerves and time, immediately buy a normal overlocker with a lower looper threading device already built in. Some manufacturers go further: they produce machines with needle threaders.
Automatic lower looper threader
A steel hook passes through the eye of the needle, picks up and pulls the thread. This is the needle threader. By the way, the hook is very small and sometimes breaks.
Thread tension adjustment
In inexpensive overlockers, tensioners are located on the front cover, and on different axes. In models with a higher price, there is one axis; the thread is pulled more evenly. In luxurious, almost professional ruglocks, everything is done by a computer, but a tailor can also have a hand in adjusting the tension of the threads with buttons on the front panel.
Accessories
Before buying an overlocker, ask the seller if it is possible to purchase additional paws for it, and if not, where to order them. The range of paws is rich and varied; with them, a skilled craftsman will create things of unprecedented beauty, and an inexperienced one will learn and do the same.
Overlock feet Merrilock 007
There is a special foot for sewing in beads, for sewing on tucks, a gathering foot, a universal foot, a sewing seam guide - there are a great many of them, and all of them will be useful to those tailors who want to sew truly original dresses, blouses and trousers.

Many types of knitwear do not crumble, so the processing of sections of the product is not required. Enough to grind the details. There are five ways to perform "knitted" seams on a sewing machine.
straight stitch
It is suitable only for slightly stretchy knitted fabrics, as it does not have elasticity. While sewing parts, the fabric needs to be pulled slightly towards itself. Then it will take its original shape, and the line will be strong. After sewing the parts, iron the seam. You can use a multifunctional ironing pad.
Zigzag stitch
Suitable for all types of knitwear. The zigzag stitch does not pull the fabric together while sewing. On the typewriter, set the minimum values \u200b\u200bof the length and width of the stitch, the line should turn out to be narrow. Do not stretch the fabric while sewing. Iron the seam allowances after sewing.
double stitch
Details are ground with two straight or zigzag stitches, which are performed in parallel, at a distance of 3 mm from each other. First sew one stitch with a 1.5 cm allowance. Then step back about 3 mm towards the cut and sew the second stitch. Cut off excess allowance close to the line. Sewing scissors are available.
Double needle stitch
This seam is suitable for any kind. The sewing function is available in almost all modern sewing machines. Follow the instructions for working with . Thread the left needle first, then the right needle. Sew parts at slow speed.
The stitching retains its elasticity thanks to the zigzag stitch formed by the shuttle thread on the back of the seam.
Stretch line
This narrow stitch is specially designed for joining knitted fabrics on a sewing machine and being able to flatten seams completely flat.
If there is still a need to process open sections, use a line that imitates an overlock seam.
The result is a strong seam and a finished edge, as in.
For convenience, overlock stitching is performed using the edging foot. The width of the seam is approximately 5 mm. Do not stretch the fabric while sewing.

We all know and remember the old sewing machines of our mothers and grandmothers. Modern cars are very different from them both in their design and functions. Today the market offers a huge selection of different models. Therefore, the question of how to choose a sewing machine is becoming increasingly difficult, especially for beginners who still have some experience in this area.
Before buying a sewing machine, you should pay attention to a few important facts that should help you when choosing. The main thing is that everything has been invented a long time ago: needles were invented a long time ago, and all sewing machines work on the same principle, which does not change. Each manufacturer has achieved the same heights, although they all went to this peak in different ways.
The stereotypes of old sewing machines have remained in our environment. You can often hear that old cars, although they were heavy, were distinguished by their durability and reliability, and modern ones are no longer the same. This is an erroneous opinion. Yes, we have lost one single operation (straight suture), but at the same time gained a lot more!
Common features of all modern sewing machines
Before looking for differences between cars, you first need to find out their similarities: what unites all modern cars, what they have in common, regardless of manufacturer or company. Knowing these features, we will greatly simplify the process of choosing a sewing machine. We will not talk about hand- or foot-operated cars, only electric cars. So, today all sewing machines have cases made of light plastic or light metal. Please note that this has nothing to do with quality, since the frame and other parts are usually made of metal inside. Modern sewing machines are much more powerful than their predecessors.
Many are surprised how cars with such a fragile appearance can easily sew thick materials, sometimes even leather. The main requirement for modern sewing machines is the ability to easily sew a variety of fabrics. The sewing speed is also important - it can be adjustable by pressing the pedal or set by a special mode. All machines have a free arm platform, which is designed for sewing trousers, cuffs and other narrow parts. The top threading system has been greatly simplified. Any machine can perform at least 5 seams, among which there are seams that imitate overlock - there can be several types of them. In the kit of any model there is a set of paws, which further increases the capabilities of the sewing machine. And it doesn’t matter which manufacturer or model this machine is - all modern models must have all of the above components.
Distinctive features of modern sewing machines
Each manufacturer can be proud of their achievements in this area. It would be wrong to call them advantages, rather, these are features that can surprise us and motivate us to choose this particular sewing machine. First of all, you must decide what features you really need, and the seller will advise and tell you which company and which model offers what you need.
For example, many manufacturers have retained the traditional vertical hook design, while others use a horizontal hook - the bobbin is inserted from above, which makes it easier to thread the bobbin thread and protects against breakage and tangling. Some companies offer special devices for automatic upper threading, and bobbin winding can now be done through a needle. There are also models in which the operation of the needle is automatically turned off. In order to facilitate the advancement of the fabric, a special device was invented - the double feed conveyor. Some insert it into machines, while others offer it as an additional foot. There are also such sewing machines in which it is not necessary to pull out the lower thread - the machine does this itself after the first stitch. Some machines are provided with an automatically controlled presser foot lift. For beginners, a "Sewing Advisor" was invented, which is located on the machine body: it determines the most important settings for basic sewing operations with various types fabrics.
Production technology has progressed so much that some machines not only do not need lubrication, but it is even prohibited.
Manufacturers pay a lot of attention to the loop. Today you will not find such a sewing machine where, in the process of baiting a buttonhole, it would be necessary to manually unfold the fabric. The buttonhole can be processed in several stages, switching to reverse and fastening, in other machines you can simply specify the size of the buttonhole, and there are also models in which it is enough to specify the size of the button - the machine will automatically make a buttonhole for it. Today, in one sewing machine, we have several types of loops. Complete sets of machines also differ: with and without an additional table, with a hard or soft cover.
All these technological subtleties make sewing much easier, and the results become more professional.
Sewing machine classes
Sewing machines are divided into three classes: models with a mechanical selection of seams (electromechanical sewing machines), computerized machines and computerized sewing and embroidery machines. They differ in control methods, design complexity, their functional properties and, of course, prices.
Electromechanical machines
Electromechanical machines are the cheapest and simplest. Everything is extremely simple: all the seams that the machine can perform are shown on the front panel. By turning the wheel, you can select seams, set the desired parameters (width and length of the stitch, thread tension). After installation, you can start sewing! Since the old days, even machines of this type have changed a lot. You will find all tips on the body of the device. The process of threading the upper and lower threads has long been simplified - instructions are needed only in more complex cases. All of these sewing machines have no limits, so you can sew a variety of fabrics: elastic, thin, jeans, leather, etc.
Machines of this class have a large selection of functional and decorative seams. Given all the above features that distinguish modern sewing machines from their prototypes, these machines are not as simple as they seem at first glance. Electromechanical machines are the most popular today. They can become indispensable helpers in every home, as they have all the most necessary functions.
Of course, the specific choice depends on your financial capabilities.
Price 3500 - 5000 rubles. A great example is the Jaguar sewing machines (models 135 and 137). The machines of this Japanese manufacturer are known for their reliability and convenient operation. These models already have a horizontal hook and an integrated needle threader. These models are compact, so they are easy to hold and transport. They work especially quietly and gently. It has knitted and overlock stitches, performs a semi-automatic buttonhole.
Price 7500 - 10000 rubles. This price range offers probably the largest selection of sewing machines. It is worth mentioning such manufacturers as Swiss Bernina, Japanese Jaguar and Janome, Swedish Husqvarna Viking. These sewing machines are similar in quality, but some models differ in the number of operations performed, the design of the shuttle and the number of additional legs.
The most optimal and probably the most the best option in this price range - BERNINA bernette Milan 5 (E66).
This model has a wide selection of basic seams and a lot of possibilities for realizing your creative ideas. Main advantages: easy maintenance, automatic buttonhole sewing in one operation, decorative stitch width 7 mm, automatic needle threader. The most important advantage of this model is the ability to sew both very thin and very thick fabrics. The machine passes through thicker sections without any problems, sews quietly and reliably. There are 8 paws for different operations in the package.
The prices of sewing machines also depend on what accessories are attached to them. First, consider which presser feet are included, from standard and decorative stitch feet to buttonhole and overlock feet. Separate paws are also used for sewing on buttons and zippers. There are also separate paws for folds, assemblies, and edging. Working with coarse fabric also requires special feet, like many other operations. Of course, any foot, as well as other accessories, you can always purchase separately.
Computerized sewing machines
They have all the best properties of electromechanical machines, but machines of this class are more functional. The integrated computer system allows you to control the machine with a simple push of a button. In addition to the usual functional stitches, these machines offer a large selection of decorative and finishing stitches with embroidery elements. All of them can be combined and create your own compositions. Such compositions decorate clothes very much. The memory in machines of this type is quite large: 30-60 characters each. The machine remembers and reproduces your programs. Sewing machines of this class already have an alphabet and numbers. There are necessarily several types of loops that are performed automatically. Such a machine itself monitors the process and makes recommendations on the information screen.
Most women (especially the older generation) are intimidated by the word "computer". Do not be afraid of innovation, it is the computer that makes working with the machine easier and no more difficult than working with a simple calculator. Computerized sewing machines “think” for you: which needle is best for your fabric, what stitch length in this case will be the most optimal. Today, the demand for machines of this class is growing rapidly - these are machines for creativity and professional sewing.
