So I finally summoned the strength to call it quits with my adorable but dysfunctional Kenmore Mini Ultra. I took it back to Sears, who took it back with no receipt (because the purchase was in their computer anyway) and got me a slightly better model. I brought it home and couldn't bring myself to open the box. In the wake of all that frustration, I didn't want to risk more heartbreak... so I procrastinated a while. But when I eventually decided it was time, I plugged that puppy in, wound me a bobbin, threaded the needle, and it sewed a beautiful, perfect straight seam that actually functions as a seam (i.e. the stitches are real stitches, they don't just appear to be stitches until you get to the end of the seam and pick it up and the two pieces of fabric fall apart and you realize it was all a facade). I am so delighted. I'm not going to bed until I finish my first skirt. Yay!
ETA: One a.m. and the skirt is finished! Yeah! Except that I measured wrong and it's like four inches too big. I'm just going to overlap it. It won't show much. That's the beauty of a circle skirt. Damn, I'm totally knitting something to match. I'm thinking a Loop d Loop ballet top in Blue Sky Cotton (held doubled)?

oh no! do the pretty sewing machines suck?? I was going to get one for my birthday!
And yes, I'd double that cotton :)
and um, where is the PICTURE of this skirt?? Surely, if you can stay up until 1AM sewing, you can stay up until 1:05 taking a picture! ;)
Aw, yay for your sewing machine that works! That's awesome!
Huzzah for sewing machines that work!
I can't wait to see your Loop-d-loop top...now join Sew?I knit, ok?

Surprised to hear about your bad experience with the MiniUltra. I love mine. It's great for taking along to classes. Makes a beautiful stitch. My only complaint would be it's lack of speed. Glad you have a machine you're happy with now though!
