Tips and tricks

Good evening loves

Ok let's start here let's get a little educated. For my beginners, there are several brands out there that will certainly get the job done. For my first I got Brother Project Runway Limited Edition can't remember the model number. However, it's the one with fifty stitches and eighty utility stitches. The basic one didn't have enough stitches and this one is computerized comes with a nice selection of presser feet, needles, and other accessories. I got it from believe or not Walmart for a whooping $170 with taxes. Not too bad I won't say that all Walmarts sell sewing notions and machines. As some are not equipped.

There are other things that I needed to start my journey. I just bought the machine nothing else. Back to the store this time I bought the basic sewing kit. You know the one with the blue scissors yes that one. I also bought some pieces of scrap fabric Walmart had in the scrap bin for .69-4.00. 

Now what to sew; hum good question it can not be something taxing or for a expert or beginner really lol. I took sewing in home ecs god years ago! It's like riding a bike once learned you never forget. You may get rusty but you never forget. 

Now to get myself together I decided I needed to bush up. I opened the box put the machine on the bed in my room. Yes, it was complicated another story we're talking sewing. I read the manual so I could learn to operate it. I made pillowcases. But I'll give you a secret shhh! Ok you know all the stitches that are on your machine? I want to start by making a stitch book. Why stitch book because you will get the feel of your new purchase and you will experiment with the stitches tension, stitch length, the throat plate, and the presser feet. 

Once you know your machine the rest will come. So, let's get those stitch books done and don't forget to read your  MANUALS. Your manual is your bible learn it as it holds the secrets to your machine. Every brand is a little different so I can't tell you how to work it as I'm not with you silly😄 The manual is best here I want you all to have a good understanding of your individual brand and model. It has all the settings and what presser foot to use with what stitch. It also tells how to match the needle, fabric, and thread. Try it and leave comments, questions, and such below we will continue so Get to Workin! Lol gotta laugh yes we will have with. She said that!
