I use it when two edges need sewn together, like when something rips in a straight line. The mending stitch puts it together flat, without a bulge. It's kind of like darning, I think.

I've used my machine to make maternity clothes, a few Halloween costumes, some curtains, and crafts... but I mainly use it for mending. It has a fantastic mending stitch.

H...love the post AND that vintage sewing machine!!! Heck, I can't even figure out the tension on my sewing machine - drives me bonkers. I totally get the tearing the machine apart and putting it back together - that's me every time I use it to craft. I waste so much time for a stitch that isn't even correct! LOL<br /><br />I've thought about trying to make a quilt - -but until I can get the stitching right, that will have to wait for another day. <br /><br />Nancyh2hsc2020@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13805666840669874987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814181789754982227.post-74258142403722886242020-04-11T14:08:18.067-05:002020-04-11T14:08:18.067-05:00I have been tempted to try quilting, but I have a ...I have been tempted to try quilting, but I have a feeling I would never finish the project!

I did make costumes for my kids, but I would repurpose things I got from a thrift store or just eyeball it and sew. Would have made a real seamstress have a stroke, but their costumes always turned out well! I sure wish I could see you in the satin jacket and shorts! And if you want the mask pattern and the video, I put a link in the comments of my facebook post.Dyanne @ I Want Backsieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04946323852124525597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814181789754982227.post-68606010760872198192020-04-11T11:37:17.581-05:002020-04-11T11:37:17.581-05:00Sorry to read you had such troubles with your sewi...Sorry to read you had such troubles with your sewing machine. I used to make clothes when I was young, but now I'm just a quilter. Quilting is much easier than sewing garments, and it's very relaxing. All the contrary to your adventure! Maybe give it a try?<br /><a href="https://quiltingpatch.blogspot.com/2020/04/a-z-j-jewelry-gemstone-bijoux.html" rel="nofollow"> J is for Jewelry </a>Frédérique - Quilting Patchwork Appliquéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15307507105646376697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814181789754982227.post-67661938486928493642020-04-11T08:40:41.359-05:002020-04-11T08:40:41.359-05:00I have the same love hate relationship with sewing...I have the same love hate relationship with sewing. My grandmother taught me to sew and I inherited my mom's machine as she did not like to sew. I made a few things in High School my favorite being a satin jacket and matching pair of shorts meant to emulate the one worn by Shaun Cassidy. I thought it was quite cool. It was not. When I bought my first home, I did a little bit of basic sewing for curtains and things like that but otherwise my only sewing in recent years was for Halloween. I would go all out for my girl's costumes and generally they came out well but the process definitely involved a great deal of swearing. I probably will attempt some masks too but I'm just not looking forward to it from both a sewing perspective as well as the reality of needing a mask at all perspective. Your mask did come out great!<a href="http://www.weekendsinmaine.com" rel="nofollow">Weekends In Maine</a>Weekends in Mainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04729846929747892856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814181789754982227.post-89825407420398698162020-04-11T07:53:57.970-05:002020-04-11T07:53:57.970-05:00Exactly!
