Sewing is such a great hobby and enjoyable pastime.

Without the art of sewing we’d all be walking around in leaves and cow skins.  In today’s age of technology, a sewing machine can be just the beacon to open the door to an abundance of fashion, craft and hobbyist, & design opportunities. 

Many people around the country, just like you and me, earn their living with a sewing machine.  So when you pick a sewing machine you want to pick one that’s going to give you the functionality, features and meet you at your level of experience.

Learning to sew at first can be a little scary, but once you’ve revved up that sewing machine engine you’ll never look back.  Being able to sew means that you are absolutely limitless in what you can create.  From curtains, towels, quilts, bedspreads, table clothes, blouses, jeans, skirts, sweaters, shoes, coats and just about anything else you can dream up!  The sky is literally the limit, and in this day and age it feels great to be able to have a say in what happens with your money!

So now that you realize the endless possibilities to knowing how to sew, where should you begin?

Well the first step is deciding on the best sewing machine for what you want to accomplish.  But truth be told just about any sewing machine will do the task; it just depends on what you want to do.  So what will it be embroidery, quilting, fashion design, crafting?  This decision is important and thinking it through can save you lots of time in the future.  Because the truth is all machines are not created equal!

When sewing machines first came out in the 1930’s they didn’t have all of the fancy settings and stitches that they have now.  Now, with all of the computerized sewing machines that boast literally hundreds of stitches, sewing is a breeze.

Now that you know the importance in choosing the right machine, and your decided craft your ready to begin on your sewing journey.  But don’t fly out the gate just yet, you also need to consider your workspace, or where the magic will take place.  When first starting out you might not be as meticulously organized as a season pro, and yet I know some seasoned pro’s who still can’t find a bobbin when they need one.  So in short, organization is crucial in getting off to a running start. 

When you consider a workspace, consider where you’ll place your sewing machine.  You’ll also need to think about where you’ll cut and measure your fabric.  You don’t need a mansion to do this, but having a desk, or flat surface area is going to make life a lot easier.
