I have been wanting to learn to sew for
years now because I eventually wanted to learn to make my own quilts. I love the beauty and intricacies of them. I learned to knit before I learned to quilt. Knowing how to quilt requires knowing how to use a sewing machine. The hubs purchased a mini-sewing machine for me two Christmases ago but I honestly have no idea how to use it. Plus I'm scared I'm going to sew my fingers onto something. lol. There are sewing classes at our local fabric store but I just have yet to take the plunge. It is definitely fear-fear that I'm going to be horrible at it. When will I overcome that fear? Who knows but it better be soon. I've got a mini sewing machine calling my name!
That's how I started. I just took a class. It's not bad once you know how.
ReplyDeleteI have one quilt that my mother made - called table top quilting. Just a sewing machine and no "quilting frames". I am grateful to have it as she has been gone now for three years. Good luck and happy sewing!
ReplyDeleteIt's SO not hard! My future hubby bought me a Singer several Christmases ago. Through tinkering with it myself/reading the manual and his mom who sews, I have made one quilt so far and sewed other little quilted projects. Take the plunge! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful bird quilt. Quilting is on my list of things I want to learn too (maybe when I retire and the kids move out?) LOL
