Congratulations on getting your new sewing partner😅 she looks gorgeous!/and I'm sure would be a lot of help as it has already started doing just that.

I'm also saving to get myself one hopefully soon too, an industrial straight sewing machine, it's so expensive where I'm located, but I'm not giving up.

My manual helps a lot, just needs that assistance and my kneel has started to hurt a lot these days from pedaling.

But being able to undertake a project from scratch to the end is beautiful as well and gives you so much more freedom.

You are so right about this, very satisfying indeed.

Congrats once again and happy sewing!
