Hello, day 7 of the Creative Giveaway Class countdown! Each day we are exploring another popular class offered on Annie’s Creative Studio platform and today is all about the sewing machine.
Modern technology has really transformed our machines. Now instead of stitching a simple straight stitch, they can offer hundreds of stitch patterns including embroidery.
Now, I know that folks have their preference when it comes to machines but we all have our reasons. Personally, I have machines from yesteryear and a few of today’s modern marvels. Depending on my mood, I tend to reach for the modern marvels.
Just this past week, I added a new Baby Lock Altair to my sewing studio and boy is she a beauty! Tons of stitches and the embroidery features are amazing! If interested, you can learn more about it here.
The tools we use for our hobbies are really the unsung heroes in our creative process and it is super important that we keep them in the best shape possible, protect the surface they sit on, and service them regularly.
Today’s class feature is all about that protection. In just a quick afternoon you can create a handy mat that will protect your surface, prevent your machine from “walking” as you work, and keep all your important tools handy. Let’s take a look at the class preview.

I have to say that I love them both. I have a fancy new technology machine that I use for most of my sewing. But, I also love old machine, especially the Singer Featherweights. Which I have 3 – and love to travel with them. They are fantastic at quilting retreats. Light to carry and don’t take up much room.
If I could afford a featherweight I would buy one. I have a straight stitch only machine and a computer machine for all the fancy stitches. Use both all the time.
Thanks for sharing all your great ideas.
I have a Brother that I paid quite a bit for. I would never trade it in for old school. I sew a lot and I need my machine that has a lot of the “bells and whistles”.
I love technology. I have a brand new Bernina 570 and a HQ 16 with prostitcher. I really prefer technology, but if the sewing is simple, I am happy sewing with Beau, my Featherweight..
I have 2 older ones, a Kenmore and a 66 Redeye. I also have a Bernina and a Juki industrial. Like you I tend to go for the modern machines for the majority of my sewing.
I love to use a Singer Featherweight that was my mom’s.
