More Stitching and Sewing


Here is a photo of DD#3's beautiful stitching from our family stitching day.




My 1980 Sears Kenmore sewing machine has sewn its last for me.  It hasn't been serviced in 20+ years and the tension on the bobbin needs adjusting. So instead of investing in it, I treated myself to a new sewing machine!  After much research and "test driving" this Pfaff is the one!  I spent most of a day playing with it and the only thing I haven't figured out is how to get the automatic needle threader to work.  It is important cause my eyes don't see as well as they used to!  I'm sure I will underutilize all the fancy stitches/functions but I learn a little more each time I use it.

Good news is DD#3 asked me to teach her to sew before she knew I had bought a new machine.  Looks like the Kenmore will get a good home. :)

EDIT:  I updated my sales page with some new items. Go check it out!

    Ooh--what a great new toy!! I've been thinking about updating my old machine (from the '70s!!) so I'll be interested to hear how yours works out, Teresa...

    Lovely stitching by your daughter--how nice to have someone in your family to share your hobby with :)

    Love your daughter's stitching! Congrats on your new toy, too. I got a Pfaff last year and I'm embarrassed to say how little I've used it--but I plan to! Can't wait to see what you whip up with yours.

    My project looks so good! Although the sky looks purple...and it's supposed to be blue :( It's so nice to see all your followers like it :)

    Beautiful stitching :) Oooh... a Pfaff. Congratulations! If they had a distributor here, I probably would have gotten one instead of my Bernina. Still, I love my Bernina too ^.^

    Hugs,
    Veronica.
