I find that when I rush to get things done, I make the most mistakes and it takes me twice as long to complete something because I have to redo things. :)<br />Hugs,<br />XXanaduhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06355069609640008727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135143418174232762.post-89355370174102853732016-09-27T12:28:47.313+10:002016-09-27T12:28:47.313+10:00Hi Xanadu,

I find the biggest challenge is just the overwhelming amount of things to learn and practise with sewing :D but I enjoy learning little tidbits like this every now and then. It really motivates one to sew more!Ai Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00026975584317701716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135143418174232762.post-41859109498133856892016-09-25T21:31:01.349+10:002016-09-25T21:31:01.349+10:00Thank you Niina.

But these where the older kinds, that you heat on a stove.

My poor machine only gets pulled out once a year to make my kids Halloween costumes. <br />I did try once to make doll clothes, but I got way too frustrated both with my machine and myself for not wanting to learn how to adjust for miniature sewing.<br />(I don't have the time to develop my sewing skills, so I have decided to just support other artists who sell on-line and Etsy!)<br />Hugs,<br />SamSamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04886941510965517859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135143418174232762.post-31831682912784657542016-09-24T14:12:34.776+10:002016-09-24T14:12:34.776+10:00Hi Alejandra,

If it does, do try the single round centre hole straight sewing plate...it will help you. :)<br />Hugs,<br />XXanaduhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06355069609640008727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135143418174232762.post-58097564629425487112016-09-24T14:04:54.079+10:002016-09-24T14:04:54.079+10:00Hello Giac,

I actually didn't realise about the sewing first then cutting it out. It makes sense and no more fiddling around trying to hem tiny little things. I also didn't know about the small iron, that they existed. I have to look into that. The normal iron I find works well for SD + clothing but I've always had trouble trying to do anything smaller with the normal iron. <br /><br />I tend to mostly handsew as I am constantly fighting with the sewing machine (it likes to chew my fabric and the thread always without fail gets tangled and stuck. It's a relatively new machine and I've threaded it right so no idea what the issue is.).
