I’m so excited!!! My new machine arrived!! I’ve been eyeing a Husqvarna machine for YEARS and I finally brought one home. I know it’s going to be a little work horse 🐴❤️ I already have my sights set on my quilting machine (also HQV) but that one will be a bit yet. 😊 Stay tuned for some shorts 🎥 this weekend!!

Do you own a sewing machine? What kind?
I also have a Brother - Project Runway that I’ve been using for years! 🪡

Since sharing my news, I’ve had a few friends say they’d like to start sewing also! So, while I’m getting things together and organized, I thought I’d share some helpful tips 😊

Today’s Tip: ALWAYS USE GOOD QUALITY FABRIC

Does it have to be a certain brand? Absolutely not.
Does it have to be the most expensive? Nope.

But, you want a good quality fabric that “performs” and stands the test of time. You wouldn’t want to invest time into a project for it to come apart - or worse stretch and get misshapen while you’re working on it. Working on quilting style projects, I only use 100% cotton. You want a fabric that is easily workable; it shouldn’t be so rigid it doesn’t flex or fold but it shouldn’t be so light that you can see through it 😂 Try different brands, see how you like them, if they’re easy to work with.

If you have a sewing machine, you can start with some older materials or clothes you might need to purge. I started sewing using scrap fabric that my mom had, just practicing. Stores that sell fabric (H0bby L0bby or some WaIm@rts) often have a remnant bin you can pick up some practice pieces pretty inexpensive.

Remember, your first goal is to get a feel for the machine, how much pressure you need for the foot pedal to control the speed, how the feed dogs grip and guide the fabric. Just practice until you feel like you’re in control 😊

And if you’re scratching your head saying “what are feed dogs”? 🤔 that’s a story for another day. Till next time friends! 👋
