campingmommy aka Kelli 7 Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 embroidery scares me...It's fun! (and a PITA at the same time) I'm making shirts for our Disney trip next week. I'm hopeful one of these days I can take a few basic sewing classes...I've love to just take a pattern and understand it and make something wonderful! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 See I don't sew clothes... I quilt. I tried sewing a "easy" dress for my daughter... couldn't follow the pattern.Reminds me of the time I was pregnant and decided I wanted to knit a pair of baby booties for our unborn son. I finished one ... it fit our (at the time) 4 year old daughter! Oops. I can do most anything I want to do, but I can't sing and I can't knit! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mgsmom 9 Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 I enjoy sewing - but only things that don't have to be a certain size, or "fit" - I mostly do tote bags, purses, crafty type stuff and curtains. You know, an inch off here or there and no big deal. I also do a lot of handywork on my own clothes to make them fit "just right". I am currently making a bathroom organizer to hang in the closet area of Pop when we take our trip, so I won't spend the whole trip digging through toiletry bags.I also tried one of those "easy" patterns to make a dress for my DD. Ummm.... no. :rofl2: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I bought an iPad case sewing pattern off Etsy..."easy pattern"....yeah...I can't even sew a rectangle without messing it up! And I attempted crocheting earlier this year...yeah, right...my mom learned it by watching YouTube and is now making my son a Lego blanket! Couldn't get my hands to coordinate enough to work the yarn and crochet hook! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pixiesteno 2 Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 I have a Necci royal series that I use at least five days a week and I really like its performance. I purchased in 2004 and have had no problems with it. I have made purses/bags, sew denim, made holsters with duck cloth and layers of stiffener, and I also use it to make lingerie. Very dependable machine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Very dependable machine.Welcome. Sorry it took so long to answer. First saw your post while on mobile. I don't really like typing by finger much....So far I like my Bernia. I still like using my featherweight and my treadles (when i have a house). I like to use the best machine for the job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
