Practice using the utility stitches on your machine for everyday tasks, and using different sewing machine feet and needle types to facilitate using decorative and specialized threads.
Supplies: Bring some solid color fabric and 12 weight thread in a favorite color. I have several colors on hand that you may use, but if you want to get your own, check Ruth’s Stitchery on Austin Bluffs.
If you want to gain this confidence with your own machine, feel free to bring it, along with all your machine’s feet and its manual.
