I prefer fairly simple projects. My mom is great, though. In fact, she's here this week helping me with two crib bedding sets! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-how-to-use-a-sewing-machine#post-512762 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 10:11:35 +0000 Alivoo01 512762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I own one, but I've only sewn straight and zig zag lines with it. I've never messed with the tension either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-how-to-use-a-sewing-machine#post-512643 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 09:45:11 +0000 GrapeCrush 512643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not well. but i want to learn, i want to make my LO's quilts! and maybe a few maternity dresses/skirts </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-how-to-use-a-sewing-machine#post-512488 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 08:13:25 +0000 MrsBrewer 512488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I have a sewing machine. I would say I'm a beginner but I'm learning still! I'm making my sister's prom dress! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-how-to-use-a-sewing-machine#post-512471 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 07:55:20 +0000 blackbird 512471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I love to sew. I've been doing it for years--first my mom taught me, then I took a home ec class, and now I'm just all about following directions and figuring it out. I'm going to be making a couple quilt for the baby's room! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-how-to-use-a-sewing-machine#post-512300 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 00:41:08 +0000 fussygal 512300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! I taught myself a few years ago I don't know if I'm any good, but I've made a few small quilts and bags. I actually need to bust it out tomorrow to make some draft snakes for our house! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-how-to-use-a-sewing-machine#post-511827 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:23:59 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 511827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in the process of make a memory guilt. I've been slowly working on it for almost a year now. I know the basics. Hate cutting fabric! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-how-to-use-a-sewing-machine#post-511705 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:00:21 +0000 MediaNaranja 511705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use mine almost every day! I am currently making a quilt for my brother's wedding gift! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-how-to-use-a-sewing-machine#post-511653 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 20:51:04 +0000 JerricaBenton 511653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love sewing! I belong to a sewing group that meets every week. We all work on projects and help each other out if we have an issue with a pattern. I've made all kinds of housewares, like pillows and oven mitts, and clothes for myself like matching robes and nightgown sets and skirts. I just made a set of reversible bow ties for my brother and am finishing up a dress for LO. I'm pretty crafty in general but I especially love sewing because if you can follow a pattern, it pretty much always comes out nicely! It's relaxing to me too, once you get in the zone :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-how-to-use-a-sewing-machine#post-511551 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 20:35:27 +0000 Penny Lane 511551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can follow fairly basic patterns. My Mum is a super sewer. She made my wedding dress, and even made the pattern herself. So she taught me the basics while I was growing up, but I don't own a machine </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-how-to-use-a-sewing-machine#post-511418 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 20:13:54 +0000 Boogs 511418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never tried. MIL has promised me one for a couple of years, that I haven't gotten yet, so I haven't bought one. Just waiting on her so I can finally try to learn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-how-to-use-a-sewing-machine#post-511331 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 20:00:55 +0000 mrs. bird 511331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes. i took sewing lessons when i was younger. haven't done any projects lately, but hopefully i'll have a reason to in the near future =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-how-to-use-a-sewing-machine#post-511327 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 20:00:23 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 511327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My MIL got me a vintage Singer for Christmas and spent a few days teaching me to sew. I know how to follow a pattern and made a skirt. I'd like to try making a dress next! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-how-to-use-a-sewing-machine#post-511320 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 19:58:52 +0000 autumnlove 511320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-how-to-use-a-sewing-machine#post-511257 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 19:44:34 +0000 mrskc 511257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I own one and can do just basic sewing. I learned in the 7th grade. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-how-to-use-a-sewing-machine#post-511247 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 19:43:32 +0000 mrsmate 511247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I own one and took a class at a crafts studio in my town to learn how to use it. It's been a really long time since I've used it, though. If you're going to sew you also need to iron most of the time, so it's pretty much impossible to get in a "quick sew". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-how-to-use-a-sewing-machine#post-511246 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 19:43:31 +0000 Cole 511246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have an inexpensive one that isn't great but I do alright with it, I can sew some basic things mostly curtain panels, pillows, a simple skirt, things without too much detail. The learning curve isn't too bad once you are taught how to use the machine, most everything is easy to look up and there are tons of tutorials on every element of sewing I have ever needed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-how-to-use-a-sewing-machine#post-511209 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 19:36:29 +0000 Smurfette 511209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not since home economics in middle school. I really want to get one and learn though. Already thinking I can ask for one for Christmas this year, since we will have room in the house for one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-how-to-use-a-sewing-machine#post-511179 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 19:26:49 +0000 spaniellove 511179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Err...I'm so awful. I have a sewing machine and still haven't taken it out of the box! One day DH took the box to the basement because it had just sat in my office for months, unopened. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-how-to-use-a-sewing-machine#post-511176 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 19:26:03 +0000 prettylizy 511176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can sew a hem or a straight line, but nothing fancy and not often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-how-to-use-a-sewing-machine#post-511172 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 19:25:19 +0000 singingbee 511172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm definitely a beginner. My mom is an expert and one of my sisters is really talented with a sewing machine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-how-to-use-a-sewing-machine#post-511133 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 19:15:42 +0000 lovehoneybee 511133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do own a sewing machine but I'm definitely still a beginner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-how-to-use-a-sewing-machine#post-511129 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 19:14:35 +0000 Bao 511129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have never used one before, but my grandma is giving me her really nice one so I can do a bunch of Pinterest inspired DIY's ;) Have you ever used a sewing machine? Are you pretty crafty? </p>
