It's nice having a sewing machine on hand for hemming pants and curtains (if you have the space to store it), and extra nice if it's a machine once used by a loved one. My Grandma has plans to hand me down her machine someday (when she's done using it - which won't happen any time soon!), and I'm so excited to have the machine I learned to sew on (and all of it's memories) in my sewing room. :)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10477887672613694373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4554234021420229727.post-6665930626261369152014-03-28T12:46:08.359-05:002014-03-28T12:46:08.359-05:00Heh, heart monitor is what it looks like! But act...Heh, heart monitor is what it looks like! But actually, there's a blindstitch zigzag and then this funky stitch, which looks like a combination of blindstitch and a standard zigzag, with irregular stitch heights. Weird, but I love it! :) Maybe it's a different type of blindstitch? The manual calls it an elastic stretch. *shrugs*Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10477887672613694373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4554234021420229727.post-72538120161892150092014-03-28T09:19:35.108-05:002014-03-28T09:19:35.108-05:00She is totes adorbs!

I tried to have hers repaired once and was told the plastic parts were difficult to replace and it wasn't worth the effort. I didn't sew so I gave up on it. I love that you just stumbled on this.

I have no clue about the straight stitch but that heart monitor zig zag (love that term BTW) is a blind hem stitch.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14685329563054057607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4554234021420229727.post-26401694998215129542014-03-27T15:41:29.580-05:002014-03-27T15:41:29.580-05:00As soon as I (finally) got the cover opened, I kne...As soon as I (finally) got the cover opened, I knew I was going to try to bring her home.
