Does any myLot member who SEWS know how to use a hump jumper?

I do hope so! It is so nice to know you sew, too. Hopefully someone else will answer, but if not, we will just muddle through somehow. Thanks for visiting my little myLot sewing nook.

Nopers, there were no directions shipped with this item and actually that is not unusual in connection with the packaging of small sewing gadgets. I think we've pre3tty much figured it out--very useful already but I was wondering if any pros out that cared to share their expertise. Actually, yes, I am nuts about gadgets and tools. Although you are correct that one must match the needle to the fabric or something is going go give, just think of the flat fell seam on a pair of jeans, where it is more an issue of getting the pressure foot over the bump, you see. Maybe someone has experience with Jean-a-ma-jig, which appears to serve a similar purpose, but lies flat, so I am thinking it would be hard to pick up on-the-fly.

Good morning Drannhh, Ya' know, after I asked about instructions, I remembered other products that sell attachments without instructions, like my Dremel. I cannot begin to count the number of heads and attachments that I've bought for my Dremel that did not provide instructions. I guess that figuring it out is half the fun. I'm glad to hear that you are well on your way to figuring out how to most benefit from this new tool. I'm the first to admit that any tool that makes sewing easier is a welcome addition. I am certainly no expert, so easier is good! I think it's fabulous that you are a 'gadget queen'. I believe that it's a true sign of ingenuity. Or, so is the case with Hubby being a gadget king. His spacial I.Q. is much more developed than mine. He forever fascinates me with his ability to create what I functionally describe. For example: I have a pump that I used to use in certain applications. Yet, was unable to accomplish all that I wanted with it. I shared with Hubby my thoughts about what I would like it to be able to do, and violá he adapted it for my desired purposes. How cool is that? Given your fascination with gadgetry, I imagine you and Hubby have similar talents in that area. Typos? No worries there, my friend. My red Sharpie is far, far away from my desk. I shudder to think about how many of my own 'oopses' I have found after the fact.

So many "mistrakes" in that one! Can you tell I am getting tired and should have gone to bed and left this for tomorrow? Please forgive the typos, my friend.

Thanks, haven't broken one yet, but not holding breath, either. I've gotten to use the gadget a few more times since the last response and it does work beautifully.

Such a good idea. Here is a link to the place I bought mine and they have a great photo: http://www.clotilde.com/detail.html?code=146735 Although just above I described using it in front of the presser foot with the bottom of the U-shaped opening toward me, in this photo it is inserted from behind (either way works although my way one has to take care not to sew too far and hit the gadget which would undoubtedly break a needle). The U-shaped opening is a little hard to see in Clotilde's photo but it is right under the presser foot. The one they call a button reed by Husqvarna has U at both ends, but it is grey and I prefer the bright yellow color so it is easy to grab on the run. Clotilde also sells something called Jean-a-ma-jig that I didn't think would be as handy because it is flat and looks harder to pick up.

Sandy, welcome to myLot. I hope you have notifications turned on so that you find my reply, but as you are new here, I will also send to a PM (private message) and hope you are able to find it. I remember how confusing mylot was to me when I first joined, but now it is easy-peasy. Wow! You invited my wonderful little yellow gadget. That is radical! Any questions you have about myLot do not hesitate to ask.

Hi I just rediscovered this site . . .again. I find it confusingI didn't get your PM.
