Graco Paint Sprayer

asked:


I am getting into sewing, making handbags, dolls, kids clothes. I find myself running back to the store for supplies a lot. So, my question is- what should I have in my sewing kit?

Also, I want to buy a sewing machine that is around $150- any suggestions for brand, model, what I should be looking for, etc… I sew everything by hand now and I need a machine!

Any other beginner sewing tips would be appreciated!

meow asked:


What’s the best way to sew a large quilt on a sewing machine? I feel like at some point there would be too much fabric to make it work. And even if you make manageable-sized squares and combine them, wouldn’t it eventually get too large to fit in the machine? Any tips or advice would be appreciated.

Bamboo Window Shades

Me M asked:


I have been sewing straight lines for years- to make pillow cases, tote bags, etc.

Well, now I am trying to make my very first rag doll. Obviously, that requires sewing curved lines. My lines curves go all over the place- nothing smooth about them.

I am about to give up and try to sew the doll by hand.

But, before I do that can anybody tell me if there is some secret to learning how to sew a curved line?

Thanks! =)

calamito asked:


I have no experience sewing (we all start somewhere, right?), but I want to start making dresses. I’m prepared for lots of failure, and for maybe some success, but I need help. I don’t know anything about sewing machines. What kind of sewing machine will I need to sew dresses? I’m thinking about just plain old cotton based material. What kinds of sewing machines are there? What kind will be best for me?
Are there different models that do different things?
