My new Brother

My new machine by Sew Spoiled
My new machine, a photo by Sew Spoiled on Flickr.
I love my new Brother PC420. It is so easy to use and the manual explains everything so clearly with pictures and diagrams. I have tried many of the stitches and I have not had any problems with any of them. However, there are so many I have only scratched the surface. The bottom two rows of buttons are the most commonly used stitches. If you click on the picture above it will take you to Flickr, I have labeled some of the others. I love all of the accessories and feet!!! It is an incredible buy! So far I am very happy with it. Make sure if you do purchase this machine that you buy the larger bobbins that the machine asks for. I am so happy!
I have to go back to sewing on it, Bye!
Here are some reviews…

It looks sweet! Keep us posted if you have any issues, I may be on the market for something high-tech soon. I sew on my mom's 1970's Viking. It actually is a fantastic machine but obviously does not have the computer screen with the stitch selection and everything.

Sweet Coin Purse Tutorial for Teacher Gifts

This time of year is so special to me because I get to show my gratitude for all of the hard work that goes into teaching my daughters. I love to make handmade gifts and this year is no exception. Since money does not grow on trees around here, I looked at my stash (I keep my scraps in hat boxes ) and tried to see what I had a lot of; small zippers, trims, Peltex strips ( from making iPad cases ), fabric scraps and some hardware for key fobs. So I set to work.  Materials: Plastic multipurpose 5" Zipper  Fabric Scraps Lightweight interfacing 808 Pellon Trims (We clipped  key fobs  with 1.5" swivel hooks onto our coin purses . There are tons of tutorials on making key fobs .) Step 1: Print out the Coin Purse Template  PDF.  Cut 2 main fabric, cut 2 lining and 2 interfacing using the template.  Optional: Cut a 2"X2" square of your choice main fabric or lining. This strip of fabric is used to clip a key fob to your coin purse later....
