I am currently working on another button down, simplicity 4112 and my buttonholes are *near perfect* without any adjustments on the machine. I even got the courage to machine sew the buttons on.

oh.my.gosh.
I was totally wowed. I went on and on (and on) to hubby about it and he just looked at me like I was a nut. He says, "You never talked to me about this kind of stuff before." I took the hint and hushed.
Today though, I am going to the PR meetup at A Fabric Place in Baltimore. I'm sew excited (hardy har-har). I get to talk sewing without getting the blank stare.
I'm wearing another piece I made with the new machine (ok, this was mostly serged) Simplicity 2883. Here is the review

I love that dress! Glad you're enjoying your new machine. I wish my machine would sew buttons on for me! ha!
I am so jealous!!! I have to work today and I can't come to the meet up :( I had never been to A Fabric Place until my dad introduced me to it last week after taking his girlfriend there for some lace she wants to have put on her gown. We had a blast and the lady gave the girls candy so of course they would rather go there than Joann's any day LOL!
I'm loving the dress! I bore people all the time talking about my machine too.
cute,, cute,,, dress, nice fabric choice, have a great time at the meet up!
Don't you just love the blank stare? I get it from the BF all the time - and he's a computer geek who goes completely blank behind the eyes when he's writing code in his head, but he doesn't understand the sewing daze. I think he was ready to turn the hose on me Saturday. Somehow he didn't expect me to come home from a whole day of talking sewing with any kind of a buzz. Silly man.
Congrats on the new machine. I'm sure you'll be spending lots of quality time together.
Great looking dress and great old school music!
Congratulations on the new sewing machine.
