New DIL wants to learn to SEW!!!
WOO HOO!!! I knew that this girl was the daughter of my heart!
I called her last night and asked if there was something that she really wanted for Christmas...She said she didn't want anything that would cost much...she admitted that she didn't even know how to thread a needle and that when my son asked her to sew a button back on to his coat yesterday, that she couldn't do it. He went and got out the sewing kit that I made up for him a couple of years ago and proceeded to sew it back on....she was impressed.
She wants me to teach her the basics...and then to teach her to sew....she wants to be able to quilt.
So, I just ordered the BROTHER CS60001 60 stitch Computerized Free arm Sewing Machine with Multiple Stitch Functions....I liked this one because it has a speed regulator on it. Fabric.com has it for 169.20 for Cyber Monday...with free shipping.
And since I was already ordering fabric, the machine added to the fabric order gave me a better deal with the coupon. So my savings was $89.67 and total spent was only $209. I couldn't use the Coupon for the machine, but the order value counted towards the coupon value....I was able to get 30% off the fabric portion of the order.
This will be a fun winter...teaching a complete novice the ropes.
