Well, machines now are really good about foot pressure. You use a foot peddle to make the needle go. Do you drive? Even if you don't, if you just use little pressure the needle won't move that fast. :)

No, I tried driving once but totally clipped the kerb at about 40 and couldn't get the wheel to turn or brake. It's not my forte haha. The pressure via foot pedal sounds pretty nifty though

It's stress relieving. At least to me.

I find sewing very therapeutic so I can understand :)

Oh! I'm glad I'm not the only one. And today! I get to go to JoAnn Fabrics.

I still have never tried needle felting.

I've not tried needle felting either. Sounds fun though C:

@Woop: I didn't even know you could get lessons in sewing machines. I'm sure youtube would have tutorials if I do. C:

@Faux: Oh have fun! I love fabric shopping! Before my old employer cancelled my contract I worked in the fabric department in a home store :)

I used to work at a JoAnn Fabrics.

I got private lessons from a guy who works at Joanne's. He taught me all about my sewing machine and then we made a doll's dress first since I wanted to and then we did a pattern tunic top for me. My sewing is not great but from those lessons I am no longer afraid of the sewing machine and I think I could do something on my own...maybe. I could certainly sew another doll's dress, lol.

You can send it to me Woop. lolz! If you want inspiration, go looks through the Vogue catalog. <3

I really should make something for myself. I have some nice fabric in a casual black linen. Vogue huh? I never thought of them, I just looked at Simplicity and ....cant think of the name. Burdastyle I think. And some other place.

Vogue has the inspirational stuff. <3

I have a craft list longer than i am tall, most of it is wedding crafts.... I have found a paper flower tutorial that I love and am using it for my bridesmaid bouquet and other filler flowers, i am making like 50 flowers at least.
