When I made my ls striped shirt and felled the sleeve seam so it would

When I want to sew a tube, I gather it up on the free arm, then stitch
it off the free arm.

Which supposes that you have a free arm. I don't use any of the
embroidery features that made my machine so expensive in 1965, but the
free arm alone has been worth the price.

It needs to have the clutch loosened so that I can resume using the
bobbin winder. I sure hope nothing is worn out, as they aren't making
parts for the Necchi Lycia any more.
