I feel quite disheartened truth be told. I bought a really nice sewing machine for myself, I've already got a very basic one and done things like simple drawsting bags and the odd taking up ofs hem, very wonkily I should add.
But i just can't seem to grasp anything. I can't sew straight, my hems are wonky, I can't even cut fabric straight, being a lefty I have to use right handed scissors. I bought a circular fabric cutter thingy from ebay, well needn't have bothered, it cuts a bit of fabric then the ruler slips and then its all wonky and hasn't cut properly. I tried to make a simple envelope cushion. SIMPLE omg no. I can't even work that out properly, even you tube confuses me.
why am I so daft, measuring, cutting and sewing things together meh. I thought I could blame my basic machine but its me isn't it
And my bobbin keeps jamming.
Did anyone else start as crap as me?
