Autumn Cape Bag 2022 Part 14

Autumn Cape Bag 2022 Part 14

Time to try something new.

New Toy

 

Knowing that I Hand Sew everything my friend kindly gave me a Magic Stitch machine

Read Instructions

 

For once I am going to Read the Instructions. Also I thought if I lose the Instructions in hardcopy at least I will have some on the Laptop.

 Fold Hem

 

Before I start trying to use the Machine I am going to make a Hem by Folding over the Material

 Not going Well

 

This is Not going Well! I appear to be going in every direction but Straight. I am going to have to Undo

More Holes than Hem

 

I have Undone the Stitching. I now have More Holes than Hem. If you look at the Photograph above you can see my Kamikazi Stitching path.

Workman’s Tools

 

I know the old saying a ‘Bad Workman Blames His Tools’ but I think in this case I can be forgiven. I was just about beginning to get it straight well straighter when the Thread ran out.

Now I am going to have to go back to the Instructions and try to see how to Rethread the Machine.

Redo in Red

 

Naturally I am doing this late at night and I am not going to go hunting for Bobbins. There are some Pre-Thread colours in the Box. I am going to Redo in Red.

Conclusion. I am really far from trying to use this on a Project. I will have to practice. In the meantime back to the Hand Sewing.
