Maybe they’re retired and can see all day? I am not fast and I’m doing it among a million other things so projects take a few days at least

It’s still way easier to thread than most manual thread sergers.

I bought mine from a sew n vac store/repair shop locally and the owner said the Vibrant is a great machine - with the more expensive models you’re paying mostly for the air threading tech

I have the Baby lock vibrant, their intro one and it’s really great! I use it all the time

I saw a tip to print in portrait orientation instead of auto and it made the process so much faster! No cutting! I did a 60 page dress today in half the time

The Ilford pattern is on my sewing wish list too!

Yep, that was my thought too. Clothing with lots of ease and more easily altered I’ll just go for it, but not pants I decided

Nope, went with a toile! I have some gorgeous corduroy from Merchant & Mills and I don’t want to waste it.

I’m Erin, I live in North Carolina with my husband and 5 year old son. I learned to sew as a kid from my grandmother (99 and still sewing!) and started sewing again in earnest a year ago when I paused my career in education to be at home with our son for a bit.
