Finally picked up the Sphinx Retro buuuuut....
I have to go back and exchange the brand spanking new pedal that doesn't work.
I turned it by hand to check out the stitching. It makes a good stitch so I'm happy about that.
It's been over thirty years since I sewed on such an old fashioned machine. I'll probably be happy with it once it's up and running and I get some practice in. There is a small booboo in the finish but the bright side is I won't be so afraid of messing it up.
I took a break and organized my stuff a little bit. Set aside fabric and batting for several small projects so it doesn't pile up everywhere.
Took a break on my quilt because I have a ridiculously small seam allowance after squaring the blocks because I didn't make background large enough and using stencils for the first time ever.
Learning curves everywhere!
It was time to clean house, daughter was home because she didn't feel good and we goofed off watching Downton Abbey & The Walking Dead before I started cleaning.
I've got to get super organized so sewing doesn't become a chore instead of fun.
We're house hunting so maybe I'll have to put a sewing area on our ridicuously long list of must haves.
