Do you machine sew or like hand sew ? I had tried to hand sew once .... sprained my wrist and had a headache for a week.

i used to hand sew everything bc i was deathly afraid of sewing machines, but it always took too long to be function and left me with calloused fingers + a sore wrist,,, i have since Befriended the machine and am currently much happier with far fewer injuries. if you're interested in sewing but don't have a machine, i'd suggest looking into a very cheap, very old model (if it has a screen avoid it at all costs) or investing in a hand-held sewing machine, which probably isn't going to cut down on the time but will help to stave off early onset arthritis for another decade or so. i do still embroider by hand, but other then that, you wouldn't be able to tear my machine out of my cold dead hands. i've taken care of her like a retired warhorse and she and i are now emotionally bonded.
