Do you have a sewing machine? If so, what do you have? If not, would a live session to talk about how to choose a good quality starter sewing machine be helpful to you?

@Rebecca Brown I agree with the older models being the best :( Nothing is made like it used to be :( I wish there were still a sewing machine store here in my hometown. The closest one is 1 1/2 hours away :(

@Rebecca Brown Thank you so much for your input on different machines, I do appreciate you. I bought the M3400 a couple of years ago when the "bug to sew again" bit me :) I got it to sew crafts with & it's "okay" but certainly not the quality Singer use to be :( I will certainly look into the Brother machine you told me about, especially since your friend loves hers. Thank you again so very much!

I thought I'd already introduced myself :( I'm 71, live in Alexandria, LA, sewn enough to get by & eager to learn more. My Granny & Mom were excellent sewist & failed at following their footsteps. The man with me in my profile photo is my son, I myself, am happily divorced :)

@Rebecca Brown as the old saying goes, you don't know what you've got until it's gone :( Now, we don't have their expertise. Indeed, I am enjoying being here and watching your videos on You Tube :)
Classroom Videos
I have posted 2 class videos so far. Module 1 Lesson 1 and Module 2 Lesson 1 should be viewable in the classroom. When I was editing lessons 2 & 3 of Module 1 I realized that the sound cut out 😩 I am going to have to do a voice over or re-record both videos. To make matters more pitiful, I have caught a chest cold that has my voice all raspy. All that to say, I know it is bad timing, but I AM working on getting things up and running and I am SO grateful that you all are here. I’d love to hear some feedback on what you see so far.
