Update: The Course So Far.

Hey guys! Sorry it's been SOOO long since I've posted, I've been rather busy this week. So let me give you an update on what's been happening on the course so far...

The Sewing Machine:

In the first set of videos we have covered the basics of a sewing machine. I have learn a lot about my machine especially since the example machine is a Bernina. Something very interesting I've learnt is that my machine has a lever which I can push with my knee to lift the foot. So that will defiantly come in handy when sewing clothes. Another thing I didn't realize is you can buy extras to complement your sewing machine. (For example different tread holders.)

Other topics we have covered:

• The different types of spool holders.
• Changing the bulb on your sewing machine.

Great tips I picked up:

• Have two sets of scissors, unpickers and tape measures. Keep one at the sewing machine and one at the ironing board when working on a new project.
• Use embroidery scissor to cut loose 'whiskers', because they're the sharpest. 
• You can never have enough sewing machine needles. 
• Keep some tailors chalk around to mark darts and notches on your fabric. (Must get some!)
