LOL Please excuse the blow by blow... hopefully it doesnt drive people away from the thread as I am sure I will have a ton more questions... but

Well I just did my first ever hem....(I think the only other thing I ever sewed was a pillow in Home EC like 16 years ago lol) time consuming pinning and ironing 12 foot of hem but the sewing part went SO smooth.... really this old sewing machine feels like silk when its running.... Really proud of myself to the hem is nice and straight and the stitches are nice and straight and even...

Took pictures will post them soon
