I received this sewing machine as a Christmas present, which is a really great idea. I have a new appreciation for everyone who sews because it is not as easy as it looks. I decided to take one of Shayne's old shirts and see what I could make of it. I made Tucker a pillow and a shirt. I don't think that he even realizes that it is a pillow, because it is so hard and uneven. His shirt....well lets just say that I measured without thinking how he was going to get into it!! However, I am sure that this machine is going to be very fun and challenging!
