I received a rather unexpected cheque in the post at the weekend and, as a result, I am contemplating upgrading The Phantom Foot Pedal machine for one that actually works. (Shhhh... Don't tell her!). The PFP was a generous gift from a friend when she was gifted a better machine. She did warn me that it would randomly start sewing without you touching the foot pedal but I've kind of got used to that little quirk. It certainly makes sewing more exciting. Like driving an F1 race with no control over your speed. She's been a great machine for starting me off in sewing but now I think it's time to move on and move up.
I've been scouring the Internet for recommendations but I think I am going to visit my local independent sewing store for advice. They even do. Free "getting to know your machine" class when you buy from them. Which I think I'm going to need. Exciting times! I'm off work today with a stinking cold, which is giving me time to think about the purchase and all the fancy things I might sew. I've also ordered some fat quarters from Frumble Fabrics for an as yet unknown project. This is why it's important that I work full time if I do t I end up buying stuff...
