amethyst73The new toy. I think it's female, but I'm not quite certain. If it's a girl, it's a pretty buff girl.
The first bit of fabric to have thread put through it with the new machine. Much of it is me figuring out that the running stitch needed to be smaller so as not to make the fabric crinkle (it's a silk-like 100% polyester, which may not have been optimal for a pair of shorts that I'm working on, but there ya go), and messing about with the overcast stitch and seeing how it works (but I think I'll stick with the French seams I've used on the rest of the garment - it looks sooooo much more professional).
