My New Sewing Machine!

I’ve had this old sewing machine for years.  My parents bought it right after they were married.  Although it still works, I decided its time for a little upgrade.

This one can do freestyle quilting and has a lot more stitching options.

I used the freestyle stitch to embroider names on a project I’ve been making.

My parents have had a mail chart at their house for over ten years but when I tried to take it apart to add Andrew’s name the plastic was so old it started to crack.  The new one I made entirely out of fabric so I won’t have that problem again.  It was fun to play with freestyle stitching!
