My First Machine Stitched Card

I must admit that it took me ages to get my

mini sewing machine going.  It was very

difficult to get the cotton thread up from the

bobbin, luckily I did not give up and in the

end watched a video on Youtube, which

helped me understand exactly what to do.

I did a swap with one of my granddaughters'

– I gave her my full-size SM and she gave

me her mini SM.  My machine stood for many

years in a cupboard that I cannot reach and

now it is too heavy for me – apart from

the fact I have nowhere to put it out!

Getting to the point – this is the first card I

have made using stitching, and I shall be

using the SM again.  The good thing about

making hand crafted cards, is that the work

doesn't have to be perfect!!  

My first test!
