Hemming hospital scrubs on this snazzy new machine is probably a little like calling in Ben Carson to put a band aid on a blister. Definitely overkill but the patient probably feels pretty special. Not to mention that the band aid now has extra cred.
I have to laugh at myself when I think of how long I've been procrastinating at sitting down and learning how to do a simple, straight stitch on this machine. Christmas was...what...16 days ago? I'm very goal-oriented and typically, just knowing there's a deadline keeps me moving forward, but the deadline on these scrubs is tomorrow and I have really been putting it off.
I shouldn't have.
WOW, this thing is super quiet (love that!) and the tension is so perfect. Plus, not pulling out the thread to cut it off...what? (It's a little thang, but a big thang...) And, I've never done any real work on a free arm machine before. It was so easy and fast that I'm wondering what else I've been missing out on...
Cars without hand cranks?
Indoor plumbing?
Books you can download electronically and read on a tiny little screen at night? (Yeah...that one's not a joke...I just got in on that about 16 days ago too.)
I'm just old fashioned. Blame it on my parents who had me late in life. I tend to ponder a new innovation or trend long after others almost consider it passé. I compose lo-o-o-o-o-ong pro / con lists. I do endless research to the point that the new model I'm researching is already three versions behind by the time I make my decision. I. Hate. Buyer's. Remorse.
Happily, the Hubs now has pants for work...their very straight and pucker-free hems were carefully considered for 16 days, completed on a surgeon-quality sewing machine, and laughed about for an hour afterward. Maybe I will try that Crockpot thing one of these days. Did you know you can turn it on and cook a whole meal in it, without actually standing in front of it???
