View Full Version : sewing machine? soon2bAFwife 07-08-2008, 10:36 PM so is it hard to use? all you crafty ladies have got me wanting one now! and whats a good kind? any VA ladies wanna teach me before I move? :D sandykay 07-08-2008, 10:46 PM I love sewing and my machine. Brother and singer are good starter machines. You can usually pic up a good cheap one from Wal-mart. I find it very easy, but then I have been sewing since I was 9. My MIL just started sewing 2 years ago and love it. She is quite good too. If you love crafty things, you should be ok, just try and keep a straight line. Play around with the machine before you start doing projects, it'll help. bailliesbags 07-08-2008, 10:47 PM No they really aren't hard to use. I have a brother, my old one is a singer and my embroidery machine is a singer. I say for starters go with a singer or a brother. My brother is from 05, but it is a cs-8060. Has a few decorative stitches, does button holes and so on. You can use a presser foot or let it run automatically. soon2bAFwife 07-09-2008, 10:14 AM I think I'm going to put one on my wedding registry lol bailliesbags 07-09-2008, 10:22 AM Hey that is a good idea. If you have local fabric store or sewing machine repair places they usually offer beg. classes also. I know Joann Fabrics does. Andrea soon2bAFwife 07-09-2008, 06:12 PM where Iam going I don't think they have any of those kind of places. Hopefully I'll be wrong! I'll find out in a month. going to a place where they don't like the military or whites.... bailliesbags 07-09-2008, 06:48 PM where are you going? soon2bAFwife 07-09-2008, 06:50 PM Del Rio TX laughlin AFB about 5 miles from mexico........ everyone says the base is like high school with how much drama there is. I hate drama... Pretty much all they do is drink and talk shit about you. (airmen can drink at 18 that way they don't go to mexico to drink) bailliesbags 07-09-2008, 07:14 PM I haven't been to Del Rio in the military, but it was ok little town. We stayed there on our way out to Big Bend National park. If you get the chance to go there go. They have a Roxxi's (says crafts and fabrics), not sure what it is, but maybe they will have classes, who knows. Kris 07-09-2008, 07:18 PM Nope it is easy to use, I have a Singer that I LOVE. I would defiantly sp? have a person who knows how to show you tricks for little things like closing up pillows or like I needed help with cutting a straight line |
