Getting to know my new machine (Juki Kirei UX8). It sews everything like through butter. Without needing my feet (that red button in the photo below). And so easy to thread that I was happy to change multiple times - something I usually try to avoid.
Reinforced a couple of tapestries (easy start), patched a ripped sleeve with deco stitches (lovely, even in a fiddly spot), patched and reinforced the crotch of some trousers (loads of layers, incredibly neat), and then added elastic to pants (my nemesis task, but it went ok, first time).
Back is now screaming at me (silly spinal arthritis), but I haven’t had this much fun sewing since my old super-basic Elna that I left with mum. ❤️
