I am impressed, it sounds great. I am learning too and I stink at it. I took an old sewing machine my friend was getting rid of. What do I try to make for my very first project? A snowsuit for Gus. I was doing okay until I tried to add the legs. He looked like the kid from A Christmas Story. He couldn't move. lol
I"ll have to get a magnetic guide. I went into Joann Fabrics for a few things and spent almost enough to buy a new machine.
I missed that though. I figure in a year or two I might be good enough to make something he won't be ashamed to wear in public.
