** ** ** Well, if achieving your dreams and career was easy then more people would be successful right? Since the end of last week I have been trying to figure out my sewing machine for class. I haven't used one of any kind since high school so I have been having quite the experience. To keep a super long story short I had to go Hancock Fabrics. After watching a tutorial on YouTube, reading the instructional manual and watching the DVD for my actual machine I just couldn't get it right. Plus I'm already a little late with the assignments (not my favorite thing to do a lot). So I exchanged it for sewing machine that hopefully is one my level of sewing. Sometimes you just have to know your limits. Thankfully I have an understanding Fashion Sewing Techniques instructor and was able to finally fixed my problem. I seriously need to work on not being so hard on myself. It's a work in progress. Lesson is learned. I'm watching the Machine Intro DVD first this time around. Fingers crossed I will have much better results. Also, hopefully this bug I have will clear out soon. I need to be back to feeling 100%. ********** ************
