A reminder of the shortage of nickel here for bright plating during post-war austerity?<br /><br />Hugs<br />GGavin Hendersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05737186300519027548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1895516057450453227.post-35145474212471282502013-04-21T10:58:04.094+01:002013-04-21T10:58:04.094+01:00Hello Linda,

I suggest you practise first on your favourite machine, go as slowly as possible, and sit on your right hand. Watch my Youtube videos and study the position of my left hand when sewing. Once you start using a hand machine you can go as slowly as you like so you can get used to it. It's not hard. Hand machines would never have caught on if sewing with them were difficult. <br /><br />Love, <br />Muv Muvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00734374133479479218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1895516057450453227.post-29973670009643218762013-04-21T10:55:32.840+01:002013-04-21T10:55:32.840+01:00Hello Missy Shay,
