Sewing Frustrations

Today I realized how utterly frustrated I become now while sewing! I think I know why, first of all I’ve always used such ridiculous machines that are so finicky about fabric thickness, or thinness, belt issues, motor issues etc. Secondly, fabric! Fabric is not like wood where you can cut it to an exact size and it stays still. After being cut, fabric can stretch and dance like liquid. It all makes me go crazy, even though I know it is SO practical and wise to sew for your needs. Perhaps I need a break and then I think I need to keep my eye open for a good brand that I can rely on, and a good quite sewing spot would be wise too. For now, I’m going to try to crochet like mad and rely on nailing my fabric to the window frame instead of sewing glamorous curtains! Or maybe I’ll stick to a needle and thread far more controlled sewing.

Okay, I’m done venting.
