It's official I finally own a sit down LA
Sharing
I'm convinced one can FMQ on any domestic sewing machine and the right walking foot w feed dogs up or down. Have done it w several of my machines with great results.
But for years I've wished for a LA because of the throat space yet could not justify spending so much. I'm retired and convinced this is what I admire and love to do so I bit the bullet.
I've done my homework and chose one that is perfect for me. Was a bit nervous because many reviews make reference to struggles w tension no matter which LA I considered. Found multiple 'you tube' links on how to get a handle on that. The recommended practices actually apply to any sewing machine for bottom and top tension.
My new Charm 22 took 3 weeks to arrive
The anticipation had the best of me. Cleared a special place of honor for it in my home and I'm in love.
The stitching is wonderful and it's quiet - I need FMQ practice but that's on me 😋
Delivered and set up by 10 AM yesterday. Other than meal times I played w my new toy all day!
Finished quilting a small baby quilt too. It just needs binding now
