Nearly snuck up and grabbed me when I came home from work. Wasn't supposed to be here for 8 more days.
It took me 2 hours and 1 trip to Chick-fil-a to muster up the courage to thread my first bobbin. Truth.
I just sat there staring at the thing, sweating, and rehearsing the steps over and over again. I watched an instructional DVD, 3 YouTube Videos and read the 200 page manual front to back. All to thread a bobbin.
Once I powered the machine and watched the thread whir around that lil bobbin, I was hooked.
20 minutes later and I had whipped up my first creation.
A ruffly mess of a thing but oh how I shrieked when it was complete. It's crooked and silly looking, but it makes me happy. Imperfections up the wazoo. Crooked ruffle ribbon. Wrong color thread because Hobby Lobby closes before 11pm. Messy back stitching. Imperfectly perfect.
Tomorrow to conquer the Mighty Monogram. Not to be confused with the Mighty Mammogram (I heart you Aunt Lucy).
Sew much fun.
