Sewing

When using a sewing machine it is very important to know how it works, be sure you have it threaded correctly. Not knowing your machine will cause you to become frustrated and give up. So take time to read through the owners manual and play with some scrap fabric. In no time you will know how it works and creating all kinds of projects!
