That’s awesome! Thrifting can lead to some incredible finds. This is truly an amazing machine. You might want to service it first, there are a lot of Brother authorized dealers that could help you. I hope you will make the most out of it. It's a gem!! Please feel free to ask for help if you come across some hurtles. Happy sewing!!

Hi Di! It sounds like you're on an exciting journey into sewing! For your cami and slip dresses, I recommend looking for a sewing machine that has a good range of stitch options. Brands like Brother or Janome have some great models for beginners! Unless you truly niche down to Leather handbags of stuff like that, the machine is really not that important since there is not just a specific commercial machine for a specific fabric, but has to do with the stitches, thread, needle and tension you are using and those things will determine the success of your project. When you decide on a machine, before you even set it up, get to know it... generally the instruction manual has everything you need to know for your machine. Recommendations for use with different types of fabric and the machine settings. When you purchase your fabric, please grab a range of different sizes of needles. Thin work best with this fabrics, otherwise will leave big wholes. Always practice on scraps how to control your fabric, the speed, the stitches and so on and you will easily find the best way to get amazing results. I wish you good luck and enjoy every part of this amazing journey! 😘

Aww, thanks! So excited for you to start sewing! Just dive in and have fun with it-can’t wait to see you rock that dress one day or anything else you will make! I will never forget the confusion and excitement the day i bought my first sewing machine. Had no idea why i got it but I was so excited to see where will take me. I have learned so much, made so many mistakes while learning, but I think by bar is the best purchase I made for myself ever! And I am 50 so I must've purchase a bunch of stuff throughout my life. Some times I walk through racks looking at tags and I am smiling while I am saying to myself " I can do this for a fraction of the cost .... and this .... and this!!" The amazing feeling of control over my money and wardrobe and satisfaction to be able to look and not make impulse purchases anymore is incredible!! Please don't give up and remember, every little new skill you will learn will bering you closer to total independence! Please keep me update on your progress and asked me anything anytime!! Good luck! 😘

Hi there, they had few smaller shows for almost every night of the week, but they also had the main show which last season when we sailed was FOOTLOOSE, with a very talented cast. We got this show twice in a row, for two different cruises because they considered this show being very successful and kept it for a little longer. I had a chat with the Cruise Director and he mentioned that the Footloose broadway show will be replace potentially with THE CHOIR OF MEN, similar scale production and live musicians or Wheel Of Fortune?!?!. Still in the air. Hopefully that will be as good as others. I still think the time they use to have The Jean Ann Ryan Production Company, If anyone remembers them, those were the absolute best shows! If you are going on any NCL cruise, make the most of it and enjoy! It's about having fun and building life long lasting memories!! Let me know how it went!

Thank you for your kind words! I'm thrilled that the video has been helpful for you. Enjoy exploring all the features of your SE400! It is a great machine that you can use for many years to come! I sew leather, denim, fur, fleece, sequins... and so much more with it! Best value for money, by far! Happy Sewing!

I truly appreciate your compliment! It means a lot to me that you enjoyed the content!

Thank you so much! I'm thrilled to hear you found it beautiful. Your kind words inspire me to create more!

Hello and thank you for stopping by! Great question! Folding fabric can be a bit tricky at first. To fold it properly, start by laying it out flat and then bring the two selvages together. The selvages are the finished edges of the fabric that prevent fraying, usually running along the length of the fabric. And by the way, this is a age-old question of fabric folding! It’s like trying to solve a Rubik’s cube but with softer edges. Just remember, if it looks like a burrito, you’re probably doing it right!

Thank you! 😊

Haha, I feel you! Cats have a way of making sure we never get anything done, huh? Miss Stripes sounds like a real character! I love pets, i would have 5-6 if i could 😁

@@silviasvault Yes, she is a real character!

@@silviasvault Today I am having to cut out some BIG panels for sewing. Normally, I do all that right here in my kitchen. Centrally located, I have my Butterfly JA2-1 sewing machine here, reels of cotton (ACTUAL cotton not polyethylene) and, of course, my iron. But, these pattern pieces are HUGE!!! My cutting table here is just TOO SMALL!!! So...I went to my shop to see...no, that table was bigger, but still not be enough. So, let me check the office...and clear off the draughting able and, wallah! The draughting table is large enough for the pattern pieces to fit! There are SIX MORE CATS in there!!! My oldest cat, Miss Patches, I caught burying herself into my fabric...just like Miss Stripes does! And all the other cats are laying on the fabric. I'M SURROUNDED BY A BUNCH OF *HAMS*!!!!

Thank you for stopping by!! It sounds like your sewing machine is not detecting that the presser foot is raised, even though it physically is. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue: 1. Check the Presser Foot Sensor: The machine has a sensor that detects whether the presser foot is up or down. If this sensor is dirty or malfunctioning, the machine may not register the correct position. Try cleaning around the presser foot area with a soft cloth or compressed air 2. Reboot the Machine: Turn off the machine and unplug it for a few minutes. Then, turn it back on. Sometimes, a simple reboot can clear small software glitches. 3 Reattach the Embroidery Unit: Try detaching and reattaching the embroidery unit to ensure it is properly connected. Sometimes, an improper connection between the machine and the unit can cause errors. This one in particular works for me most of the time. Also check for some fabric stuck under the presser foot or needle plate. If none of these steps will resolve the issue, it might be a hardware issue with the presser foot sensor itself. In that case, you might have to contact Brother support or maybe taking the machine to a certified technician for repair would be a good idea. The website is going to give you few locations in your state. I am so protective of my sewing machines because they are saving so much money!! Happy Sewing!!! 🙂

I am sorry you had to experience this terrible situation. Have you ever brought to their attention? Usually they are quite quick into looking into things and remediate. If the ship is not at full capacity they could also change your cabin for same category or better. Dirty is not an excuse and that has to do with your cabin steward not cleaning it properly, to the company's standard and that is unacceptable.

Thank you for sharing your experience! I’m so glad to hear you loved the Haven as much as we did. It truly is a fantastic escape! We also have ours booked for next year on Escape out of NY. This would be our third time on this ship. We love it but we will be missing the Haven Observation Lounge, since the Escape doesn't have it.

Hope you enjoy it! I live by his envelopes method and forever changed my family's life in ways that I can't even begin to describe. Removing the waste and knowing how to maximize our income was a game changer for us. I wish more people would just take a step back and check out the damage we do daily with "small" purchases.

Hello, see previous reply, Thank you

Hello, I am actually not uploading daily but bi-weekly or weekly, so you need to change your template. And I am happy just the way it is. Thank you

Hello @ameliastowell, Thank you for stopping by! And yes, Computer Connectivity in Brother SE-400 sewing and embroidery machine gives you the choice of importing designs from your computer through a built in USB port. Along with a CD that came with the machine with few extra designs, It has already 70 built in designs and 120 frame pattern combo plus 5 fonts but being able to import desired designs makes this machine an incredible value for the $. I am not using embroidery unit as much but I am glad is there. I occasionally used it for monograms for my sons gear or tshirts. Happy sewing!!

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled you found it helpful. The song is a great vibe, and I'll be sure to drop the title in the comments for you!

@@silviasvault Thank you! All the best wishes for you! :)

Thank you for bringing them up. I am purchasing a lot of supplies for my business from Aliexpress and I always recommend them highly to my brides for accessories. They do both have wedding gowns and I am all for saving money. I have seen few of them from both sites and , while I think they are a really good alternative for a low key, casual wedding, or for the second dress, some of these dresses lack in quality, structure, look cheap, could also be very hard to alter. If one has time and wants to try, should order one early and if not happy, at least have time to go and buy one in person. Always read the lower reviews as well. I am all for having multiple choices to compare. Great point!

Thank you very much for watching! I enjoy sewing and sharing... Happy sewing!

Hello and thank you very much for watching! I totally get you! Sometimes you just gotta sew for yourself and enjoy the process without the stress of others expectations. And I use to sew for very cheap many many year ago because I was purely enjoying, but now I value my skills and I am charging the right price for my time, expertise and one of a kind pieces. Happy sewing!

Hi there, and thank you for stopping by! Ah, the "sewing bible"! It’s like the ultimate guide for for a beginner....... Just imagine: turning your duvet cover into a trendy outfit-now that’s what I call a cozy couture! Actually that would be a great video idea 😆.... We should come up with a challenge😘

Thank you! 😊

Glad it was helpful! I am hoping more people are seeing the benefits of creating their own wardrobe. Learning new skills always comes handy!

With how much resources out there makes so much easier to learn and master. Just find your pace and go from there!

And the fact that I am able to have clothes that fit my body proportion perfectly is priceless

Thank you for your comment. And Yes, I agree..... It is very hard to find a very durable and reliable sewing machine for a good price and I feel very lucky with the choice I made many years ago. I am about to get an updated version myself as the work volume increased for the past couple of months. I will have a look into the newer version myself. Thank you for the feedback!

We were there around 9am. When you are allowed to book in, check as early as you can and it gives you times to pick from. We picked the earliest one available when we checked in. It does have a separate area where some snacks and drinks are provided. As soon as you are in that room the staff begin to look after you.

Thank you so much for stopping by and kind words, I hope you had an amazing time on Joy. It is my favorite ship so far, not too small, not too big, lots of things to do for my teens and everyone else. Good food and great atmosphere. Going back on Escape 10 day cruise out of New York next August. I am sad that they took away Joy sailing out of NY but I will still enjoy! Hope you already booked your next one... ☺
