What type of sewing machine do you use?
@made.byalena7 күн бұрын
I have a Singer Tradition I’m pretty sure - one of the cheapest options at Joann’s, but I’m thinking of getting a nicer one soon as I’ve been using it a lot and it’s not super great after having it for a year and a half

The white vest with the pink ribbons, those you can wear 100 times, and I like how you put that double row of eyelet on the bottom of that blue top, do you wind the elastic on the bobbin or put the elastic down and zig zag, because I've never tried this. I hope you are feeling better and Have a lovely week
@made.byalena7 күн бұрын
Thanks!! I hand wind the elastic in the bobbin and turn the stitch length and tension all the way up and it makes it stretchy!

My favorite book in high school was Someone like you by Sarah Dessen but the only book I actually enjoy reading now are stories from my bible. One of my favorites is pslams because of the prayers There's a setting on my bible app that has the option for it to be read out loud so I like to listen to it sometimes as I crochet but if I'm reading I really like 1corinthians it sounds like poetry in the king James version. Also Elena I am so happy that your markets are doing well anytime you can make just one sell I count that as a win You are so talented !! I love that you are able to take photos of your customers those are going to be sweet memories to look back on :)

Keep up the good work. You are doing great. Here’s a tip my mom taught me at an early age. If you put the knitting needle that holds the stitches under your armpit (right arm if right handed) to hold the needle in place …everything goes much smoother and more quickly. There is much less stress on your hands trying to hold the needles and knit at same time. Hope this helps. Good luck.
