Hello Everyone
I’m Emma, from Huddersfield west Yorkshire and I got my first sewing machine a week ago! I have been wanting a machine for a long time. My husband surprised me with a Brother Fs130qc. I was very excited.
I couldn’t wait to set started, I have made some tote bags and a few zippy lined bags and a peg bag. I’m looking for new things to make, I have really enjoyed what I have made so far.
I’m looking forward to learning new things and getting some new ideas. 0_0

Hi there, I grew up in Huddersfield! There is a sewing machine shop in one of the arcades. I expect all the fabric and wool places have shut up shop. Might still be a bit of stuff in the market. You are going to love it here.
-
Welcome to the forum @Lemz79 I’m sure you’ll find lots of help here.
-
Welcome. Have you thought about Patchwork and quilting? :devil:
-
Welcome @Lemz79 and I hope you like our little place and find it helpful. A word of warning, though, beware the darkside that is patchwork and quilting.
Your Brother machine is a step up from the model I have, but it suits my modest needs.
-
Ahem!! Take no notice of @UttaRetch who so far has
escaped our clutches not become a Darksider yet We have fizz,coffee and biscuits, just please go easy on the Garibaldis

So that's how you do it. Lure with them booze and biscuits. :laughing:

You've sussed me out @UttaRetch :| :D

Welcome from me too, Emma. :flower:

Welcome from me too Emma :D

Welcome to TSP
Popping over to the darkside is a natural progression from making tote bags. Just make a couple of biggish blocks, add a border all around and you have the main parts of another tote.
You don't have to be bribed with :gin: and :cake:, you can come in of your own free will 0_0

Hello and welcome to TSP, hope you enjoy being one of us.

Welcome @Lemz79 ! You've picked an excellent machine. Brother are extremely user friendly for novice sewists. That has some nice features.
@UttaRetch it's too late Honey. The Brother machine she bought is from the quilting line. It came with a ¼ inch foot, free motion quilt foot, walking foot with guide and a mahoosive extension table. Not to mention the quilting stitches. The enticement video on the Brother site features sewing up a....wait for it....quilt! :dance: :laughing:

Not so fast, @Lemz79 said:

so maybe it was an uninformed choice in his part. ;)

It's all in the name. fs130 Qc :laughing:
-
What does the 'fc' mean. Okay, I guess the 'q' stands for quilt, but what about the 'c'.
-
EEerrrrrmmmmm...... :thinking:
-
QC - quilter’s companion?
-
:thumbsup:

Welcome!
There are a few amazing bag makers in here too. But yes come to the dark side! We have biscuits!

welcome @Lemz79 . Beware of the Darkside - it's like Alice's rabbit hole , with added biscuits and drink! Nice husband - sounds like a keeper!
-
Welcome @Lemz79 from me, too. I don't understand any of the patchwork and quilting jabber, so if I were you, I'd stick to clothes and bags :devil: :D xx
