Get Ready, Get Set 2 sew part 2

Ok if you haven't done it already you need to do it NOW! Get those machines out, and READ the manual. Yes you read that right, make sure you know how to use the silly thing before you even start ;) I can give you the basic idea of how to use your machine, but since I don't own the exact same machine as you do I probably can't help you with threading your machine or putting in the bobbin. You also need to know what KIND of bobbin your machine takes. There are many different ones out there, and your manual is the place to find what kind you need. Most machines come with a few to start you off, but you are going to want more than that trust me. You also need to know how to care for your machine, and even how to turn it on ;) Now before we move on to different types of needles pull out that machine and make sure you know the look of it and have read that manual (keep it close by for reference later on!)

And remember just because back in 7th grade home-ec you couldn't sew doesn't mean you can't do it now! Just think this time you can take time to learn and you don't have to rush through anything to keep up with the class ;)


Also a very good recourse that I love to use is www.sewingmamas.com  It is a community of sewing ladies, and all are very helpful with everything from basics to more experienced stuff. I am an active member there, and LOVE all the things I have learned and continue to learn every day. Go check it out and join, it is sure to help you along the way and encourage you to try new things!
