Re: Sewing Machines

[30_rock_office]

Wow, you answered things I hadn't even thought of! And for that, I thank you. I think knowing how to use a machine and learning basic things like stitches and patterns can be very useful, so knowing what to look for is very helpful. What I meant when I said about saving money, I was more thinking like seeing something at a store that I like, but making it my own or coming up with my own ideas without having to hunt for or order it from somewhere. I know it's more work, but I think it could be fun to look for fabrics and thread at thrift stores and such. Once I have the machine and black/white/brown/grey thread, I think I'll start getting my money's worth as well as the chance to say that I made it all on my own! In fact, I asked my Mom about machines today, and she said she actually has one that just needs a little repair, so that is a huge help. Anyway, sorry to ramble. I just get so excited about new projects and learning new things on my own. Thanks again for your great advice! :)

DA

Just to put this out there - machines can cost a *lot* to repair, and unless you've got a local repair shop you may end up having to send it off to get it repaired.

Also, re: seeing stuff in a store: chances are, unless it's particularly expensive/in a particularly pricey store, chances are it's going to cost more to make. Most clothing companies buy fabric in bulk, so they get it for far cheaper than you, as an individual can and that's before you even get to dyes, trims and other supplies that you can use. If you go the thrift store route, then chances are you're going to end up altering clothes more than making them...and that's really not the same thing, which I mean in that it doesn't involve quite the same aspects of sewing. [For example, patterns aren't really a thing with altering] Those can be frustrating and time consuming to learn.

Please don't think I'm trying to be mean - I've just seen a lot of people do what you're talking about with about the same attitude then quit after sinking a lot of money into it because they didn't realize how hard it is.
