The third day I noticed that some pieces were falling apart.... and realized that I had forgotten to double sew at the end of lines!!<br />It's hard to learn the basics but than, you can sew whatever you want!! <br />Have fun :)<br />CeciliaCeciliahttp://crearescout.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080988240295658638.post-56239273588823640472013-07-27T15:54:49.725-06:002013-07-27T15:54:49.725-06:00That is great that you are learning to sew!

I actually went to school for fashion design and could barely use a machine when I started. Practice is the biggest thing that will help you out, but if you want to work on your straight lines, draw lines on muslin (you can even make kind of a straight line "Spiral") and practice sewing over that.<br /><br />Hang in there! I could barely sew a straight line when I started, and within a year and a half I could sew a ski jacket! You got this, girl!<br /><br />-Becca<br /><a href="http://ladyfaceblog.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Ladyface Blog</a>Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05496308865637575387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080988240295658638.post-47096074535941098112013-07-27T09:12:03.004-06:002013-07-27T09:12:03.004-06:00Genius!

And the very first thing we did on the machine was practice stitching designs on a piece of paper with no thread. Just put the needle in the machine and you can see the little pokes in the paper. We had "templates" on the paper with designs to follow. There was one with lots of straight lines. One with a big curly spiral, and one with some curves. Make some for yourself and after about an hour you'll be much better at sewing a straight line and you won't waste any fabric or thread :-)Karleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06066694492190461647noreply@blogger.com
