Getting Crafty
I’ve got the crafting bug.
For a while now, I’ve been itching to buy a sewing machine to make some stuff – cushion covers, purses, toiletry bags, customise clothes, that sort of thing. I don’t know where this urge has come from. I haven’t used a sewing machine since school, when we were forced to make things we would never use.
The only thing is, I don’t know where to start! I’ve had a look at a few on the internet, but I don’t want to spend a lot of money straight off the bat. I understand that for a beginner, looking for something with dozens of stitch options really isn’t necessary, because the most important ones are the straight stitch and zig-zag, being the two most often used.
I think I’ve got a lot of researching ahead of me, but any suggestions would be gratefully received!
Pam, thanks for the recommendation.
I very nearly bought a Singer that was on offer at half price, but I read so many bad things about them that I decided to wait and do a bit more research.
I’ve never heard of Pfaff before, so that’s something I’ll definitely look into.
Thanks again!
