Nice to be back so soon, exams are over (for now at least) and sewing is going to consume my time (if I get my way)! I did get a little dispondant with it all this week when I couldn't do the pattern I was testing, I have put it to one side, going to do a quick easy one then come back to it.
First things first meet Betty
She is my fabulous Bernina 780, she comes to me as an ex-demo, I have a few little niggles with her but we are starting to understand each other and she is a far more advanced machine than I am sewer, so I need to grow into her (unlike the dresses I need to slim into!).
I have reformed Betty since mid-April and all the last projects I shared with you were made on her, but as usual life, work and exams took over. I haven't bought the quarter inch foot or a couple of other feet (or shoes I like to call them) I NEED! But my pink electrical tape works a charm and I managed to nab some fab colours online.
Secondly meet Penelope.....
Penelope was planned to replace my Brother 1034D, she is so much smoother and quieter, even I can notice the difference in stitch quality. She is yet to have her maiden use apart from a few scaps to check the threading, which was soooooo easy. Even I got it right first time! My brother still has my white thread on as I am feeling a little lazy and may have two overlockers one White one black and then maybe one day I will be more competent to beable to thread any colour I like! Penelope is looking ready to go but I need to get over the heartbreak she caused in my two month wait in her arrival (more on that another time).
Thanks for stopping by and more projects to follow soon
