I am so excited by my recent purchase, a new (to me) sewing machine. \u00c2\u00a0I purchased my Brother Innovis QC1000 (sounds like some sort of broom stick, wonder if it knows the directions to Hogwarts?) machine on ebay. \u00c2\u00a0I had only recently started watching ebay for one and in less than a week, this one appeared. \u00c2\u00a0I had to get it couriered down from Queensland, but it arrived very quickly and in one piece.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I tried it out yesterday and after an hour I was actually ready to sew a stitch! \u00c2\u00a0It almost warrants a degree to use it, but I am sure I will figure it out as I go along. \u00c2\u00a0I love the auto tread tension and it cuts the thread so the thread is at the back of your work. \u00c2\u00a0I know that function alone is going to save me time. \u00c2\u00a0It’s kind of fun to have a touch screen too. \u00c2\u00a0It seems to let you know if something is wrong and comes up with a little sad face and a short description of what needs checking. \u00c2\u00a0Now if only it could come up with dinner suggestions and the ingredients, I’d be a very happy woman indeed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m looking forward to getting some sewing finished off. \u00c2\u00a0A quilt for Tenneille for one. The machine came with a quilting table attachment, which will make it so much easier to piece her quilt together.
\nI used my new machine to finished off a cover for my laptop yesterday. \u00c2\u00a0I will write a post about it tomorrow. \u00c2\u00a0Needless to say, my laptop now has a very comfy home indeed. \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0Jacinta x<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
