A month ago, I mentioned how I wanted to learn #sewing, but I haven’t done anything about it until now.
Today I purchased two sewing machines:
- Lockstitch: Jack A6F-E
- Overlock: Jack C7 Urus 4-thread
I also bought some feet for the lockstitch, like an adjustable zipper foot.
I forced myself to wait with buying machines before I had sold the last two Juki sewing machines I had in stock at my little sewing machine #business. Today, they finally sold to a company that wanted to buy both machines. So now I purchased two machines for myself to learn sewing - something I’ve been wanting to learn for a long time… #hobby
I want to learn #sewing as a hobby. I think it would be a good hobby, because it’s creative and not related to technology, except for designing and pattern drafting. For that, I use an application called CLO3D.
Right now, I’m looking into which sewing machines I would need. I’ve sold so many machines through my little business which has allowed me to try a lot of different brands. I’ve come to like a brand called Jack. Very similar to Juki (which is the industry-standard), but much cheaper and feels more modern in terms of features and the way their machines are engineered.
The problem is, there are so many different garments I’d like to sew from sweatshirts, denim jackets and jeans, to outerwear jackets and pants. This would require different machines since the fabric used for sweatshirts is much lighter than 16oz denim for a denim jacket.
