Yey, it's very exciting. I had a cold, spent the day in bed gorging on sewing videos and blogs (inspired by my best friend's own sewing escapades), and suddenly I've signed up to a 10-week dressmaking course and own my own Brother (secondhand - nice find on
gumtree). It's a XQ3700. Choosing a new machine is not easy for the beginner but the with the adjustable stitch length and width (necessities) and nice needle threader and top loading bobbin (luxuries), as well as a gizillion stitches I figured I couldn't go too wrong. The one-step button whole thing should be useful once I figure that out (down the line).
I got started on the basics and something very easy following a
excellent tutorial from Annika Victoria
