Does owning and using a sewing machine

[virgovictoria]

Could you show me how to use mine? I've had a *new* one, in the box, for a couple of years... I'm just not that great at reading directions.

Those sewing machine directions are no joke. I've had mine for a year and still don't know how to use it.

You could have given it to me, then I would let you use it whenever you wanted

HUSH! I need curtains.

Figure the odds If you are not chic enough to make your own curtains I certainly won't do it.

I'm totally undomesticated. I can hem a pair of pants but that's about it. My mother didn't know how to sew therefore it wasn't passed on to me. Oddly enough I can embroider.

I actually read the directions and didn't screw anything up.

now that's a no no

 

[dems4me]

now that's a no no

We really were meant to be for eachother

My mother worked in a sewing mill all her life so what's she going to teach a house full of boys. Learned to sew, cook, clean house, wash clothes, etc. She had to use one of those industrial machines like she used at work that sew fast enough to stitch your fingers together.

I learned how to sew when I was a kid. Even used a sewing machine. I just CHOOSE not to do it now. Of course, that MIGHT have something to do with the nightmmare I had many many moons ago, about my sewing machine going haywire and me jamming that million-mile/hour needle through the top of my thumb.

Pete, Can you sew me some longer sleeves on some shirts of mine that seemed to have lost the battle to dryer heat?

Bring over that Toreador suit too I will let out the waist for you. It was looking kinda snug.

me jamming that million-mile/hour needle through the top of my thumb.

I did that when I was a teenager and my mother nearly fainted. The needle slammed down and continued to go up and down and up and down until my mother unplugged the machine and got the needle out of my finger. It never went ALL the way thru the finger, just the nail. I think I may have had my foot on the peddle the entire time.

 

[Vince]

The industrial machines are so fast you put a needle through your finger and don't even know it till 5 seconds after it's done.

I got tired of paying someone $2.50 a patch to sew patches on my uniform shirts, only to have them sewn on crooked. Each shirt has 4 patches, so it cost me $10.00 per shirt and it was never done right.
Went out and bought me a machine, found a high school Home Economics teacher to show me how to use it and I haven't put out money for patches or hemming trousers in the last 13-14 years. Never had one fall off and they are all straight as an arrow.
I figured if I could master every tool in a woodworking shop, I sure as heck could work a sewing machine!

Sewing is just assembling parts made of cloth. A skill every batcherlor should master

 

[Ken King]

I have used the small household machines and the nice "Tim Taylor" industrial machines when I worked in upholstery years ago. Like anything else it is nothing more than a skill to learn and use.

Now Pete, if you were using it to make little fru-fru costumes for Ponytail, then I might challenge your manhood.
