    My first DIY with sewing machine!

    Well after many questions asked all over the place and some tinkering around, reading, and watching videos, I finally got the machine working smoothly and understand the controls. I even figured out the backstitch! So I decided to try my first project tonight, just a simple stuff sack. I did it very quick and was pleased with the result for barely measuring anything and not marking or pinning anything. Can't wait to get my pins in and other helpful materials. So here is a couple pics of my first DIY! Thanks for everyone that helped me out on here

    You're telling me man! Sewing that first hem was an awesome experience. I couldn't believe how much satisfaction I had when I was finished with a simple stuff sack!

    Dude!!! you have every right to be psyched about that stuff sack. Nothing simple about straight seams on slippery rip-stop nylon. Good job!!
