I learned how to sew when I was a little girl by watching my Mother sew.
I can't say that too much frustrates me about my current sewing machines. I'm happy with them all.
One on one classes or even watching on videos would have made it much easier years ago to learn to sew.
To conquer my sewing machines I just had to study the instruction manual or watch the dvd that came with them and practice.
What kept me going is the desire to be creative and I love fabric so that was my motivation.
My machine was kept on the dining room table while I was working on projects. I didn't have a cabinet.
I am self taught when it comes to quilting. In the late 1970's I bought a baby quilt kit and subscribed to Quilter's Newsletter and went from there!
I used a machiine that did a few different stitches. It was a Singer and I had it for 20 yrs. It was a great machine.
I learned when I was 24 how to quilt.
