This is not the same machine as days gone by. Much easier to use. |

LOL...I also have to "tune out" the tv when I'm sewing or I don't get much done....LOL Keep us posted and show us pics of what you are working on if you can :D

I'm lucky, I put the sewing machine in kitchen... and there is no television... that doesn't mean I won't listen to a radio! HA! shall be fun.
|
It's time to just sit down and sew and HAVE FUN PLAYING.

Pay close atttention to the bobbin instructions. It is very easy to put it in backwards, and then it won't sew properly.

What are you waiting for????? Get busy! :D :D

One word of caution the Jenome takes a BL bobbin but my Jenome Gold and Platinum will not let me use it as the top thread at the same time. Strangely enuf my Bernina takes BL top and bobbin, but the prewounds have to be rewound onto a Bernina bobbin. Such is life. |
You can use a sewing machine. It's not that big of a deal. Read the book and do what it says. Start with nice straight lines and you'll be off and rockin' in no time.

I am a beginner here but my QS quilt took most of the afternoon to cut out, as I fussy cut the flowers for the nine patch, an afternoon to sew all together, a morning to sandwich and that was hand basting with a friend to help. It took just a little over four weeks to hand quilt and that was keeping at it most evenings. I know there are so may variables but once I got into it I just wanted to keep going untill it was all done!
I agree with DebraK, there is nothing like experience, just go for it!!!!!! We were all beginners at one time! Gal |
