To Buy or Not to Buy?

There are many opinions out there in the home sewing community about cover stitch machines. The number one question is: Do I need one? The answer to that, of course, is NO. Just like you don't need a serger/overlock machine to sew knits. But they are really nice to have. And what about a combo machine? a combination serger and coverstitch machine. Well, that is what I want to discuss today. I have a Juki MO-735. It is a 2/3/4/5-Thread Overlock (serger) + Cover Stitch Sewing Machine. It is a workhorse and offers 24 different stitch patterns, everything you need to help you create more professional results with your home sewing. Here is a photo of mine set up for a narrow cover stitch: The number one complaint about combo machines is that you have to convert them from one use to another. Yes, it does take time.

Mexican Bean Soup (An Instant Pot Recipe)

It’s Cinco de Mayo. It’s cold here in Upstate NY….well cold for this southern chick! I have an Instant Pot that I love. Take all that and what do you get? The perfect day for Mexican Bean Soup! *Photos taken with Kindle Fire, so please excuse the quality….or lack thereof. For the recipe go here . You don’t need an Instant Pot for this recipe. You just need an appropriate sized slow cooker. However, the Instant Pot makes this a one-pot meal. Therefore, clean-up is much easier. Now that supper is cooking away, I can get back to fun in the studio! Until next time, Sammi

I Cheated!

Yes, I broke down and worked on a project when I was supposed to be organizing my studio. But….in my defense, I was frustrated because I could not magically make more space appear, and I NEEDED a break. I now have more space on my worktable, and I’m ready to get back to organizing. (and by the way….the crown graphic came from The Graphics Fairy .) Linking up to Brag Monday at The Graphics Fairy .
