I recently saw a friends tree she was given as a gift and I liked the way her edges were too. The sewer did a top stitch towards the edge and it made it look very professionally sewn. She did a great job seeing the bottom. My mother was a fantastic sewer and I wish I had learned more from her. I took a lesson when I was 9 and made a Buffy from family affair style dress. We had a fashion show and my dress won. It went in to other contests but it only won at the JC Penny singer sewing class I took in 1972. I didn’t do much sewing after that except simple bending by hand. Later after I had a daughter I started to do simple repairs with my mothers tabletop machine. She rarely used it. She had an expensive machine with a lot of cams and was in a beautiful wooden desk. Oh how I wish I would’ve kept that machine. I didn’t know how to use it and was intimidated by it. I tried selling it but people who were interested wanted to by it way too cheap. Many brother snd I bought it for my<br />Moms 50th birthday and we knew the cost of the machine and desk. She was meticulous in how she kept it too. I ended up giving it to a friends teenage girls who were fantastic sewers. They even made prom dresses and coats. I knew my mom would have a smile on her face knowing 2 nice young girls were using her machine rather than a stranger buying it for a steal. It made me happier too. Eventually about 3 yrs ago I took a sewing lesson and have been slowly retracting myself and I’m amazed with 1 sewing class and 3 years avid sewing how good some of my projects come out. I’m not experienced by any means but I’m love the sewing and wish I’d kept up and learned more sooner. I’m now 59 and have a simple tabletop machine myself. It’s a little outdated and my bobbin post broke off so I bought a bobbin machine which I’ll always still get use of but in 8 months I’ll be 60 and hopefully my wish for the next level machine will be granted.
