I've just spent some "quality" time with my old nemesis....
THE SEWING MACHINE!
I want to do some free motion sewing....
a little hard to do when you don't know how to sew...
a little hard to do when you don't know how to sew...
I actually embarrassed myself with the words
that came out of my mouth....
It took me over an hour to figure out the whole
threading/bobbin thingy....sigh...
Now for the 'tension' problem....
oh yeah....there's a tension problem
going on here ...and on the stitches too.
I picked up this book by Alisa Burke yesterday....
LOVIN' it! Now if I can just calm down enough
to figure out what I'm doing wrong.....
Just look at this scarf from her book.....WANT!
I'd like to think I'll be able to do the straight stitching
to make this if I can ever get the hang of the
free motion stuff.....
so far it's:

I KNOW! That tension thing! My dad bought me a sewing machine when I was in high school and taught me to sew. He was a furniture manufacturer and could sew incredibly well. I just have no patience for it though!
Well Tracy...I gave up on the little piece of machine that I was using (Sew Mini)....I'm hoping that may be my biggest problem! Now I don't feel I can justify purchasing the real deal......maybe I'll run across one while I'm 'junkin'.....thanks for visiting!
