Nope, because Ive always assumed I'd be bad at it, because I've always been bad at anything that requires lots of precise neat fiddly little movements, and then I get really frustrated at not being able to do it.

If you sew with a machine instead of by hand you don't have to be as precise

Mmmm. That's an idea. I am pretty handy with a table saw.

NAYRT--I'n my sewing classes, sewing with a machine was always compared to driving a car, with the assumption that if you can do one you can do the other--which always bothered me because I can't drive. I'm not great at machine sewing, but I'm better at it than at driving, because home sewing machines don't weigh several tons and go seventy miles an hour.

At least if you're good with a table saw, the likelihood of running over a thumb with the needle is pretty low. (Don't worry, I've only known one person who ever did this, and If I didn't know better I'd think they must've used an industrial machine; getting a standard machine to sew through a couple layers of canvas is hard enough.

As someone who once did sewing classes as well, sewing is not like driving. Driving, in my experience, is a lot more stressful exactly for the ton of metal going at high speed issue.

The worst a sewing machine can do is maybe cut of the tip of your finger, if it has an in-build cutter like overlockers do. In fact, the most dangerous piece of sewing equipment is not the sewing machine, or even the overlocker, it's the industrial saws for cutting large piles of fabric, and you won't be using those in home sewing.

Just remember to keep your fingers clear of needles and cutters and you will not be in danger with a sewing machine.

I can tell you the sewing/driving comparison is ridiculous. I'm such a good driver that the car insurance companies give me a discount, and I can't sew at all. I can't even thread a damn needle.

Mum was of the opinion when I told her that comparison that when it comes to technical skill, they may compare, but still think the obvious differences (size of the machine, being in motion or not) makes it not so comparable.

She did bring up how some sewing patterns can be tricky, and remembering my sewing course, I have to say that if you're doing something like a collar with a placket, sleeve cuffs, or a double yoke on a dress shirt, Dear Eru, those sorts of parts are complex! But unless you really want to make a dress shirt, it usually not that hard.

But I think everyone has different strengths - in a pinch I could sew a basic shirt or a pair of elastic waisted trousers, but the idea of driving a car scares me.
