My Birthday Came Early this Year

Remember how I mentioned in a previous post that my mom was also learning how to sew, particularly quilting? Like me, my mom tends to set her mind to something and will stop at nothing to make sure she completes her task. Little did I know that also meant her purchasing my birthday present early this year. To assist me in my progress of learning to sew, my mom recently purchased a sewing machine for me. She purchased a "Kenmore Drop-In Bobbin Sewing Machine" and before this occasion, I had no idea Kenmore even made sewing machines. But I am absolutely in love with mine. It has all the settings I need and more. It allows me to make small changes to the machine's settings, such as moving my needle to the far left of the presser foot when quilting. These changes may seem minor, but its a comfort to me because its a simple step I learned that makes sewing my quilt top much easier. Also, another great feature is the speed control. A lot of adding and removing pins goes into making a quilt top, and with the speed control, I can start and stop the machine with no problems. The machine is extremely easy to use and is a wonderful addition to any novice sewer's supply collection.
