Something new

Last week I went with a friend to the Creative Crafts Show in Belfast.

Sewing, card making, beads, cross stitch - everything was covered!

I said those famous last words:

" I'm not buying any fabric!"

Well of course, you know the story too well!

I did end up buying a little, teeny bit of fabric.

This was another purchase I made:

Oh I'm not crazy, it was not a spur of the moment decision.

I had been considering this for some time. 

In fact, ever since the Festival of Quilts last August in Birmingham, 

I had a hankering for this machine.

It arrived on Monday, and I very quickly removed it of it's packaging and got it plugged in.

Ignoring the Instruction Book, as you do :)

It was easy to get threaded and bobbin winding was not a problem.

I even managed to sew some of the 600 odd stitches 

that are programmed in to the machine! 

Next on my list is free machine quilting....

I think I'll have to go back to the instruction booklet..

just to make sure I'm following the right steps!

I'll let you know how I get on.

There's a Titanic wall hanging waiting to be quilted :)

What sort of machine do you sew on?
