I went to Quilting Class Day 2 yesterday. I’m finishing my quilting homework today. I am impressed with the simple tricks I’ve learned. Most importantly is I’m figuring out I don’t know ANYTHING about my old college sewing machine. Don’t you hate it when you think you’ve just been zipping along jut fine, to suddenly find out you’ve been doing it wrong all along?
Seeing the seamless sewing of my classmates has also inflamed my desire for a Benina. My most favorite easy trick I’ve learned? To sew a bit of junk fabric before starting in on my actual sewing. I’ve loved how well this has worked (less start-up screw ups). I’m also really loving the teacher at Elaine’s Quilting Block. She is a quilting purest. I’m into that! I love people who are passionate about what they do! Especially when it comes to creativity.
Friday’s my last day of quilting class and I’ll let you know how many seams I’ve picked out…
i don’t sew but have friends that do. my friend LOVES her bernina and got a really sweet deal on a used one on ebay so you may keep checking there. 🙂
I have a Bernina which my hubby purchased for me in 1995 and I will NEVER part with it nor replace it with a newer model. It sews beautifully and is completely made of metal….no cheapo plastic here! It has held more of it’s value than any car I’ve ever owned too!!!
