and You, too! (^o^)...
Sometimes, i feel a little bit weird when seeing some people using a very high tech sewing machine but the stuff created are not that 'high-tech'. It's their money, though, but sometimes, i just feel...hmmm...shouldn't it better to waste money on supplies or course/class or books? Again, it's their money afterall...
Ok, my case...
I thought I NEED a Juki sewing machine...not necessarily a high tech one. Just a regular one. Enough to handle thickness and curve(s)...
After sewing some doll clothes and a file bag, I realized something: perhaps, i don't have to trade in my sewing machine with a Juki.
I tried some foot pressers when sewing some doll clothes AND bags, too. The 'feel' was different. Some foot pressers couldn't handle the thickness, yet, some others can. 'Metal' one is usually able to handle thickness better.
Then the needle. I thought using needles #13 (for thick fabric) was enough. but the thread kept broken off. I then remember. I have bigger numbers than that. I tried the #18, and voila! The thread was fine! No broken off anymore **Thread numbers depict the size of the thread. The brand I was using, the larger number depicts larger size, and therefore, it can be used for thicker fabric.
I will be exploring this: playing with foot presser as well as sewing needles. It's not the machine, perhaps, it's just me.
I'm not a 'super-busy-industry-craft-maker'. So, this kind of Singer sewing machine is just enough. Besides, I just told my husband...I love the machine pedal. I mean, unlike my other machine, it runs very smooth, not jumping, not too fast although sometimes, I step it too 'excited' (^o^). I'll keep this Singer (^.<)...
If I can sew such a fussy "simple" bustier with black-classic-Singer with mechanic pedal (not electric one) AND i saw quite often, people sew jeans with it, then why not, I can use this electric modern sewing machine. --> I'd been thinking like this...I felt, there's gotta be 'something' I didn't know...and now...aaahhh...those stuff (^.^). Feel silly, though. Sewing since I was teen but realized this just now (^O^). Oh, well...Sewing one kind of project is really not enough...
