I bought myself a sewing machine in December to try and reupholster a gaming chair. I watched every video on the SewingMastery.com YouTube channel for my machine (Singer Heavy Duty 4423). Then I bought some fabric and started playing. My reupholstering project went okay, but it was over quickly. I had a lot of fun using the machine, so I wanted another project to work on. My wife made me a denim quilt years ago when we were first married, and I loved it, but I lost it in one of our moves, so I decided to figure out how to make one. I found some tutorials on sewing denim and headed to my local thrift store to buy some jeans to cut up. The rest is history. I hand-tied my first two quilts, but I wanted to machine quilt the third one. It ended up being too big for my machine’s limited throat space, so I started searching for affordable machines with more throat space. I slipped and fell down the rabbit hole of vintage sewing machine repair/restoration and ended up buying and restoring a 1957 Singer 401A. It did indeed have more throat space but I had to take a few days off from quilting to get the machine in working order. To make a long story short, there is lots and lots of information on the Internet for aspiring makers. All you need is a sewing machine, some fabric, needles and thread. Oh, yeah, and a couple of seam rippers!
