What I'm Working With...

Want to know what I used to create all these lovely pieces...

My Sewing Machine:

I got this machine back in 2011. I was on a tight budget and wanted a full size machine that would last me for years. I actually found it at Hancock Fabrics as a floor model that was half off the original price. It was missing several items but I just couldn't pass it up for the money. Plus I was told that I could contact the manufacturer and they would send me a kit with all the piece I was missing.

This is my Singer 7462. 



It probably has another name but not one that I know. This machine has been a beast. It has not failed me yet on whatever I have thrown at it. I own my own Etsy shop making diapers and diaper bags. My diaper bags were my biggest seller. This machine handled all that material with no problem. It has been a workhorse. One I would recommend to anyone.

My Serger:

Again, I love this machine. It is my second serger. My first was a Brother 1034D and I loved it, but it couldn't handle heavy material. That is what I worked with most. This machine was recommended to me as a great mid-level machine for small business that didn't work for hours at a time on their machines. I didn't. I use it to finish off things only. When I do the bulk of my sewing it is done on my sewing machine.

My Embroidery Machine:

I am still getting used to this machine. I don't use it a lot. Unlike most southern women, I don't like everything my children owned to have their name monogrammed on it. Don't get me wrong, I don't see anything wrong with it. I am just a stickler for safety and that is a big no-no for me. I do, however, have something things with names on them.
