    It would probably be a good machine for those just starting out.

    I have began my first project with this machine. This may be a beginners machine, but it is definitely doing a great job so far. I am not great with sewing in the first place, but compared to my free machine that I have been trying to learn with for a year, this is a ton easier.

    It does 22 stitches (of only 3 or 4 I will only ever use), and came with some free patterns, double stitching needle and double stitching foot.

    I am very satisfied with this machine.

    Double needle sounds awesome. I hate going over seams twice. They'd probably still be crooked but at least they'd be parallel . I wonder how that works underneath with a single bobbin.

    Yup, got me one of those as well. I'm at home sick for a couple days with a nasty cold, but will be going to get a couple cheap pieces of fabric somewhere soon to start on a first project. I thought about doing something simple like a cozy for the Enertia Trailfoods meals that I like so much. I thought about getting some Insul-bright fabric and some cheap-o fleece to cover it with. HC, we still on for that BlackCat and snake skins?

    Agreed, but the only place to hang here is outside my apartments, which, at the current time is cold. Bummer. Unfortunately, the olny thing you can do with a cold is let it run its course and treat the symptoms, which, for the record, suck. I'm working on plenty of chicken noodle soup, OJ, ramen and mac & cheese. Comfort foods always make me feel better when I'm sick. I'm thinking of making a run to JoAnn Fabrics and Hobby Lobby later this afternoon or this evening just for something to do though. I'm really itching to start a first project.
