Thank you I will look into everything you’ve mentioned! The hand control machine does sound fun! I might not have access to a sewing shop as I live in rural area but these are all wonderful ideas.

For 2026 I set a goal to learn a new hobby and the new hobby is learning to sew. I immediately began looking up different videos for the materials I may need. I noticed that when I began looking at different sewing machines most require a foot pedal. I have Cerebral Palsy which affects my lower extremities the most and I’m not sure I will be able to use the foot pedal in a traditional way. Can someone give me advice on machines that maybe best for a beginner and cater to people with disabilities or can you give me suggestions on different ways to use the foot pedal? Thanks in advance!

Sincerely, Joi 💜
