A fast floozy or a slow suzy??

[Lowena]

It's your sewing habits ( not your social standing ) I'm after....
This afternoon I actually did some sewing  (too damp to garden ). It set me wondering about sewing habits of Darksiders, as I know nothing about garmenteers.
Which speed setting do you use on your machine? Are you a fast sewer or do you go slow?
When piecing small shapes I set on 2 ( mid speed ) and when attaching binding, backing etc I use 3....yep,I'm that speedy  I never use 1 
I do pin, but away from the edge as I sew too quickly to take them out as I go. I can't bear doing things s l o w l y
I like things to proceed at a zomp!
What are your sewing habits?

I think I’m a Medium Missy, I only do easy quilts (usually squares), I don’t pin when I’m piecing (sp?) but do when attaching binding.

I'm medium I think.  The only thing I put my foot down for is curtains when I would use the top speed.  If I am sewing something intricate I may do one stitch at a time.  I stop (or slow down) and start for pins.
My current machine is a bit annoying because you have to go into the menu to set the top speed.  On my previous machine (a 'lesser' Pfaff) it had a useful manual slider and also a greater speed range.

All of my machines (vintage and one early electronic) are regulated by pressure on the foot pedal, not numbers on a dial.  For really intricate bits is very slow, or even one stitch at a time, for curves it gets a bit faster and for longer straight bits fairly fast.  For FMQ, once I' in the flow, it can go very fast.

I’m pretty much as fast as possible. My machine has a sliding scale for speed and it’s almost always at the fastest, except for FMQ when I slow it slightly to about 3/4. I rarely pin either. Only when I’m sandwiching a quilt obviously ( pin, pin, pin!) or when making bags etc .

I think I’m a Medium Missy,

There is nothing medium about being a Missy or a Missie 

I'm a Dependent Demelza;  my speed is dependent on what I am sewing.  Straight lines and I'm full throttle.  Anything that it a bit tricky and I slow that machine down.

I will not be dictated to by a machine, I control my own speed with the foot pedal, and it depends what I'm sewing.
