sproggy Report post Posted October 22, 2013 Wonderful site with great people that I found just a few hours ago while googling "walking foot sewing machines". I've been doing some hand sewing and pattern making for the last year with a tiny bit of machine sewing on a friend's machine (controlling the speed of the pedal seems SO difficult...I'm hoping it's just this machine). I'm now interested in buying a machine. I have looked at all the info on here and have seen many recommendations so I don't think I need to ask which machine to buy (I live in Thailand so first I will see what's available and at what price and then compare that to the recommendations on here). What I am wondering is if and when I get this machine home, what next? I'm not even 100% sure how to thread the machine to get started, let alone adjust and swap parts, etc. Luckily, I am fairly mechanical... Other than bothering my friend all the time to explain things to me (not that fun), is there a book, course, video, etc...that could explain how the machines work and how to make friends with them? Thanks much, Sproggy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
