Well, machines now are really good about foot pressure. You use a foot peddle to make the needle go. Do you drive? Even if you don't, if you just use little pressure the needle won't move that fast. :)

No, I tried driving once but totally clipped the kerb at about 40 and couldn't get the wheel to turn or brake. It's not my forte haha. The pressure via foot pedal sounds pretty nifty though

It's stress relieving. At least to me.

Anatidae · Posted 04-09-2013, 06:07 PM

I find sewing very therapeutic so I can understand :)

Fauxreal · Posted 04-09-2013, 06:14 PM

Oh! I'm glad I'm not the only one. And today! I get to go to JoAnn Fabrics.

I find needlefelting to be like therapy for me lol
I can crochet but I can't knit lol.

I believe the sewing machine gets easier when you use it more, if you get one anat try and get lessons, cause I struggled everytime I got stuck and didn't know how to fix something and thats why I don't use it very much now lol feels like too much effort.

Fauxreal · Posted 04-09-2013, 07:43 PM

I still have never tried needle felting.

Anatidae · Posted 04-09-2013, 07:47 PM

I've not tried needle felting either. Sounds fun though C:

@Woop: I didn't even know you could get lessons in sewing machines. I'm sure youtube would have tutorials if I do. C:

@Faux: Oh have fun! I love fabric shopping! Before my old employer cancelled my contract I worked in the fabric department in a home store :)

Fauxreal · Posted 04-09-2013, 07:49 PM

I used to work at a JoAnn Fabrics.

Fauxy should try needlefelting *nods* you get to stab wool and make cute stuff lol
I'm making a rabbit at the moment.

I got private lessons from a guy who works at Joanne's. He taught me all about my sewing machine and then we made a doll's dress first since I wanted to and then we did a pattern tunic top for me. My sewing is not great but from those lessons I am no longer afraid of the sewing machine and I think I could do something on my own...maybe. I could certainly sew another doll's dress, lol.

woopdidoodoo · Posted 04-11-2013, 08:06 PM

Uma I need the inspiration to use my machine hahaha
I can use it, had a few lessons ages ago, just don't want to use it lol
its a shame its a good machine.

Fauxreal · Posted 04-11-2013, 09:00 PM

You can send it to me Woop. lolz! If you want inspiration, go looks through the Vogue catalog. <3

Umaeril · Posted 04-12-2013, 09:26 PM

I really should make something for myself. I have some nice fabric in a casual black linen. Vogue huh? I never thought of them, I just looked at Simplicity and ....cant think of the name. Burdastyle I think. And some other place.

Fauxreal · Posted 04-14-2013, 10:55 PM

Vogue has the inspirational stuff. <3
