There's still blue protective tape on it. Geez. Actually, all the buttons, knobs, pedal (!) ...they all scare me. Maybe we'll have to clue Jill in to starting at level "zero" instead of 1. ha!

A simple Brother or Singer sewing machine is also great, I like to check the reviews on Amazon they will help you decide what you want from your machine and definitely get a case if you plan on taking it to a class.Emilyhttp://www.emjaquith.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2727677324374871311.post-64771238621192815622011-05-31T09:44:43.000-07:002011-05-31T09:44:43.000-07:00I love sewing!

But I learned on my moms singer and singer is definitely the best. I remember when I lived in Nebraska in junior high, the girls all had to take home ec classes every semester from 7th thru 12th grade. we had to sew sleep shorts in 7th grade. I even still have mine :)Jacquiehttp://www.beingjaxie.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2727677324374871311.post-54837509635564741432011-05-31T16:53:18.000-07:002011-05-31T16:53:18.000-07:00Math is horrible.

I also have a Bernina that I've only had for 2 years. I love it, but sometimes it scares me. I use both, depending on the project and/or fabric. I recommend buying the machine from a store that also tutors you on how to use the machine should you run into problems in the future. My sewing store here allows me to bring in my Bernina anytime I have the slightest problem and they can usually help me on the spot. Now, that's customer service!!

Jessica, I'm learning how to sew as well. i won a Singer sewing machine from Gussy Sews and I have no idea how to thread it and so on. NO idea. I was snubbed at the fabric store by a lady that could not believe I had won a sewing machine and did not know how to sew. It made me nervous, so I left. You can do it!!!! YOU CAN!!! :o)Sugar Mamahttp://dailydoseofsugarmama.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2727677324374871311.post-59857887005603235812011-06-03T10:53:11.000-07:002011-06-03T10:53:11.000-07:00i want pj pants....but only if there are trees on ...i want pj pants....but only if there are trees on themCindynoreply@blogger.com
