A sewist came to us with an odd problem. Her Janome M7, which was working perfectly fine, suddenly wouldn't allow her to use anything except straight stitches. Turns out, the machine was too clever for its own good.

Janome M7 Continental: Non-straight stitches are AWOL??
The Janome M7 Continental is a miracle of modern technology. It's fast; it's powerful; it's smart. Perhaps, though, it's a little too smart. A sewist came to us with an odd problem. Her M7, which was working perfectly fine, suddenly wouldn't allow her to use anything except straight stitches. You couldn't even select different stitches on the touchscreen; they were all disabled.

Cheap, disposable fast fashion combined with declining sewing skills has produced massive textile waste and environmental damage.

Today we had to DOA a machine for the first time. 😢

Computerized #sewing machines have benefits, but resiliency and longevity aren't near the top of that list. Often it's much cheaper to replace than fix. It's a terrible waste.

What vintage machines lack in gizmos they make up for w/reliability.

Today we soft launch the business! What do we mean by that & how do you get your machine fixed? We tell all in this post!
We’re open for business!
As of today, we've soft launched Evergreen Sewing! What do we mean by "soft launch"? It means we're not being especially loud about it yet. We're trying to ease into things so we can test out the processes (and more than a few assumptions), then iterate and improve those before we start widely advertising the business. For the moment you can…

Today's pre-launch accomplishment: Firing the online business tool subscription that, despite positive company reviews, ended up rapacious and sketchy af.

Shoulda waited to subscribe. Live & learn.

Don't forget, kids: prematurely optimising makes an ass of you and me. Or something like that.
