It started as a personal challenge by its creator, Zoe Edwards, to wear only โ€œme-madeโ€ clothing in the month of May. That was in 2010!โฃโฃ
โฃโฃ
Here's what's great about her story, she challenged herself to wear only clothes she made herself in March of that year, but she wasn't very successful. She tried again in May and ๐Ÿ’ฅ it hasn't stopped yet. โฃโฃ
โฃโฃ
However your me-made makes look, wear them proud this month! โฃโฃ

Of all things that have sold out during this pandemic (Clorox wipes, hand sanitizer, flour...)I would have NEVER thought a sewing machine would be one of them.

When I saw on Instagram that Messiner's in Sacramento received a new shipment of sewing machines, I had to order one!

I got this machine so that I can answer the question- โ€What's a good sewing machine for beginners?"- with fresh, up to date info.

Are you shopping for a new sewing machine right now? If so, what features do want your new machine to have?

It's here!๐Ÿฅณโฃ

I get the question about which sewing machine to suggest for beginners quite a bit. Sewing machines are hard to find these days, so I didn't want to miss out on this one!

Baby Lock is one brand that I have never sewn on before, so I am extra excited to try It.โฃ There will definitely be videos coming about this machine! โฃโฃ

How about you? What machine are you sewing on?

Finding the problem to a machine issue is something like playing detective ๐Ÿ” . You need to know what to look for and ask the right questions.โฃ
A short list of things to ask when trying to find the source of the problem is: โฃ
โ“Is my needle damaged or bent? โฃ
โ“Is this the correct needle for this fabric?โฃ
โ“ Is the bobbin area clean?โฃ
โ“ Is the needle inserted correctly?โฃ
If all of this checks out, it's possible that the machine needs to be serviced. โฃ
๐Ÿงตโฃ
How about you? What some of your tips for sewing machine troubleshooting?
