Time for Round 2 with the sewing machine. I told you I was counting on Youtube's Roxanne at strikesmyfancy to see me through my Singer education. This time I watched videos 3, 4 and 5. This machine has a lot of neat features; if I can master half of them I will be happy. It has an automatic needle threader and scissors cut, just to name two. I did get to change pressure feet and practice free motion embroidery, which it turns out, I am awful at. Lots more practice needed before I will be tackling any of my projects.
Which by the way, I, with some trepidation did count. Digging into the UFO storage box was a little like Christmas. There were things in it I only vaguely remembered but thought, my that looks nice.
Like this stack of Churn Dash patchwork squares.
I have 6 quilting projects on the go. A doable number, no need for panic especially when I think of one of the ladies in blogland who itemized her UFO's and came up with 101! She wrote them all out in a long list and is determined to finish each and every one in 2015. Admirable.
I'd forgotten that I was sewing my little scrap end pieces together along the way; what to do with them, I don't know.
Some of my tin collection.
I realized with all the stopping and starting of the sewing videos, I really needed a manual. Found my exact manual online and downloaded it; this will make learning a little easier and I won't need the lap top beside me. So I say again isn't the internet wonderful for so many things.
Sunday and a cold weather warning so no basement time on that day. Too bad as I was all excited about getting back to my machine. No fear, another day hopefully soon.
