Geeking out...

[etakyma]

So I have to geek out for a minute here. I love my sewing machine. Love love love. It has decorative stitches, but they are not the focus of the love at the moment. I've been using the button holer. What fun it is! You pop your button in the specially designed place, an it will size the hole to your button, so there is no guess work of too small/too large button holes!

So damn cool. I want to put button holes in everything. More fun than eyelet grommets. And I love pounding eyelet holes into things. And lining up the button holes to buttons is so easy with my chalk pencil.

The last time I did costumes I had to put a zipper in the back of a dress. What a pain in the ass that was! Zippers suck. Buttons are awesome. And prettier. Way way prettier.

Okay, done with my geek out over my toys. Isn't it nice to geek out over toys you've had for years?

I can't stand eyelets - I mess them up every single time. They bend, break, and I end up smashing my finger at least one during the ordeal. *shudders*

Give me a good ol' zipper any day of the week.

I had a quick flash of jealousy over the description of your machine. But then I remembered that mine's a workhorse and I love it. *pats it*
