My New Machine

 Meet my new baby.


 Coverstitch Machine

I'm so excited!  Yesterday I got my new Coverstitch machine.  I have coveted one of these machines for some time now and yesterday I was finally able to collect it from the shop.  I read about these machines in a Dressmaking with Stitches magazine a while ago when they did an article on "What should I look for when purchasing..."  Since reading about these machines I felt it was something I needed.  I must say that I am not fond of that home made look therefore, I didn't sew as often as I should.  I wanted my sewing to have that 'professional finish' and this machine was promising to do just that.

Today I  had time to have a play with my new baby and found that it has hissy fits similarities to the overlocker in that the looper thread can get tangled and make such a mess.  After working on this little problem I sewed a few samples which gave light to more problems.  None-the-less, I eventually sewed the hem on a top that has been waiting impatiently patiently  to be finished.  Sadly this will have to wait until tomorrow for completion as I ran out of time.

I have decided that with a little practice this machine will be much loved and used.  So... I'm still excited with my Coverstitch machine and can't wait to put it to work.
