But my advice is that using a sewing machine is not something that's easy to pick up from reading about it. Do you know anyone tht could give you some help getting started? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/learning-to-sew#post-1310809 Tue, 31 Dec 2013 17:23:22 +0000 Apex 1310809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started with taking a class at Joann's on how to use your machine and basic pattern reading. After that i made a couple useless things like pillowcases just to make sure i was able to sew straight lines. The rest was just trial and error stuff, but i finally got the hang of it. Pattern making on the other hand is a whole different story. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/learning-to-sew#post-1310764 Tue, 31 Dec 2013 16:58:29 +0000 mfa_lady 1310764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Subscribing to this! I have my grandmother's sewing machine and am dying to learn how to use it. :) (And I'm like you - the simpler, the better!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/learning-to-sew#post-1310755 Tue, 31 Dec 2013 16:52:35 +0000 pinkcupcake 1310755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just got a sewing machine for Christmas and I'm so excited to learn how to sew - it's something I've been wanting to learn for such a long time but never had the guts to get started :) </p> <p>I started googling "sewing for beginners" but got really overwhelmed at all the info out there. Can anyone recommend a good source (website, book, etc) to help me get started? The simpler, the better! I'm planning on taking a one-day class at Joann's Fabrics as well :D </p>
