@WendyW great pro tips! I'll check out those resources. I've already made a run on Joann Fabrics.

@WendyW that's excellent news! We've been in Highland Park for about two years now. I'd love to hear about your favorite Twin Cities resources for fabric, etc.

@snoozi soozi here's a pic of mini-me with the skull cap I sewed. She's much more photogenic.

@snoozi soozi Ha! I think you're right. The beard I've been growing makes me look a bit rough. But it's cold here in MN. Currently it's -5 F outside.

Hey @Tim Sr !
Here are some pics of the maternity jeans' hem work I did. It's not perfect, but once I iron the hems I think they will do well. Note that these are two pairs of jeans that I worked on.
I threw in a pic of the skullcap as well. The YouTube instructional for that one is here: Scrub Cap/Skull Cap Video

Thanks, @StitchinTime !
I did download the manual and had previously found an OEM parts list, which has already been helpful. I appreciate the assist!

Thanks for the history on my machine, Helen M!
It sounds like I have a little workhorse on my hands. That's encouraging. I did get a zigzag foot and ordered a kit of feet from sewingpartsonline.com, so I'll have some more training to do!

Hello, everyone.
I picked up my first sewing machine about a week ago (Janome New Home ML 3023) and the first thing I did was disassemble and get it in working order. It required quite a bit of oil and a touch of grease, as a couple of parts were locked up.
Now it's working like a charm. I have no idea if this is a good sewing machine or not, but at $30 USD, I figure it's a good starter machine.
So far, I've made a skull cap and a simple glove from t-shirt material (to practice my skills) and hemmed some maternity jeans for my wife last night after watching a YouTube instructional. The look she gave me when I completed a quality product was priceless.
This forum seems like this a great place to swap ideas and learn some really good tips and skills. Thanks for having me!
