what to buy: sewing machines

i really enjoy sewing

i dont enjoy the cutting, the measuring, and the mechanical mishaps

but i still love it 

the one person who helped me learn to love sewing was my teacher

jan sink

love her!

without her i wouldn't have been able to sew happily

she is patient, kind, and so very wise

the best kind of sewing teacher

thank you jan

(and thank you mom for funding my learning)

my favorite things to sew:

01. home decor (throw pillows, drapes, etc) 

02. baby blankets and toys

03. quilts

04. paper crafts

05. table linens 

here are some well-priced machine recommendations if you are a beginner (or seasoned) seamstress:

i am a brother machine fan

(i have 1 with me and 1 more in Cali with my mom)

can you think of the possibilities?

there were a couple of reviews stating that this 

machine had a hard time with thick fabrics

but was a dream otherwise

think about what you are planning on sewing 

and make your decision from there
