On this episode of Stitch Please, Lisa comes with a loving reality check: your sewing machine has BEEN doing the most… you just haven’t been using it. From budget machines to fancy ones with more…
And as I say every other week, this is a very special episode because this episode is going to tell you how you can use what your machine already has.

Now I looked at three sewing machines, one that was $100, one that was $500 and my own.
