I. AM. GIDDY.

Giddy, I tell you!

I have a very basic sewing machine.

A very basic sewing machine that I can no longer find the manual for.

For a long time now I have wanted to try my hand at free motion stitching.

It was one of those things that I wanted to try, but instead of doing it I popped it into the

 "will try someday" bin

for reasons that really didn't need to be reasons like,

 I need to get a free motion foot

and

I need to figure out how to drop those blasted dog feeds.

(can you tell how excited I am....that was a ridiculously long sentence)

So after a lot of tinkering and looking I finally got on line to see if I could find out how to drop the feeds.

Nope. Nothing.

Nada for my machine.

So I'm going to assume that they can't be dropped.

But that's okay, because I read that you can remove them or, even easier, just cover them.

Then it got better and I read that if I just set my length at 0 I'm good to go.

So I did.

(ignoring the foot issue entirely)

And afterwards the dog cocked her head at me trying to figure out if my squeals meant I was hurt or just a lunatic.

(she finally decided they were my normal lunatic squeals and went back to sleep)

Not perfect, but not too shabby for a first time either.

So now with two deadlines looming,

I have one more thing to distract me.

:)

Have a beautiful Wednesday!
