Hi there,
I live in Scotland and have been hoarding fabric for about 10 years and bought an (Elna 2800) sewing machine and did a short 2-day course in sewing around the same time. Made a cushion cover with piping, some bunting and a make-up bag and enjoyed it.
Then... nothing apart from a few Christmas decorations in hessian. Sewing machine gathering dust and lost my mojo!
So I'm wanting to start up again and thought I'd make some purses (for coins, credit cards etc.) and some make-up bags. I've watched lots of tutorials but I always have questions so thought I'd join up here.
Looking forward to learning and perhaps branching out into more ambitious stuff. I'm really keen to try my hand at free-machine embroidery, or is it machine free-hand embroidery? Anyway, it's drawing pictures with your sewing machine. But I'm intimidated by what 'foot' I need and footling about with the feed dogs. Hoping I can get some advice on that when I've earned my stripes making a few purses/make-up bags.
I want to ask a question about fusible interfacings but thought I'd introduce myself first! Looking forward to being creative with all my lovely fabrics.
Cheers! B
