I was in the mood for some sewing and I had some fabric stashed away. Go figure. (from Pinterest: No, doctor, it is not a hoarding disorder. It's my fabric stash. ) As the machine hummed along, I considered how much I love my NECCHI. It has a cutting and edge stitch capability that gives a nice finished edge to seams. It does buttonholes with no guessing. And it makes it so much easier to put the buttons on neatly. Of curse the cutting step generates a great deal of lint and that requires a good cleaning after its use. You can see that the dust and lint could build up quickly and cause a problem. I did not have to figure out how to do this on my own, Mike taught me how to clean, oil, and lubricate my sewing machine. He had a job in high school helping to maintain industrial sewing machines in a dress factory. (Have I mentioned lately, How much I miss that man?) And the finished jacket:
"A grandma is just an antique little girl"...unknown
