First Construction Lesson

The daunting image of using those high speed industrial sewing machines became a realisation today as we were set tasks on how to get use to them.
Omg first try on them and you realise how fast they are its so hard to get control of them at first, you only need the tiniest amount of pressure, but by the end of the day i felt fine with them pweh that worry was over now=]
But the overlockers i still not quite worked out how to get them right. You have to be so careful not overlock the wrong bit as it could mess up your whole garments especially when it cuts too.
And ahh those steam irons i was so scared about putting my fingers to close when i steamed the fabric that would not be good at all, but by the end of the day i got used to using them.
I know i'll eventually get the hang of things, atleast i got to learn some new seam stitches; edges overlocked separately, edges overlocked together, edge, top and both stitched seam, the french seam (i found my hatred for chiffon here lol) and the run and fell seam (i loved this one, its the one you see on jeans=])
Overall though i enjoyed this day and loved finally getting to do some practical work=] now i'm off to my boyfriend's grandparents for dinner lucky me=]=]=]
