Sewing is a blast!

I wish I had a designated sewing area all to myself but my house is really small.

So now I'm more into knitting and crocheting because at least they're somewhat portable.

One helpful hint, if you don't mind, and you can ignore if you already know this...

Make sure you have an iron and ironing board handy for pressing seams and stuff. You'll likely be doing a lot of that.

One of my younger sisters sewed for years for her kids. Sewing was very good quality, but her finished projects always looked amateurish because she never took the time to press seams and darts, etc.

Anyway, enjoy your new machine!
