People often ask me how I get so much sewing done.
Do I sit and sew all day??
Are there an extra 10 hours in a day where I live?
Nope.
I have a job....or ten.
I do most of the cattle and farming.
I sew windsocks for the oilfield.
One of my best kept secrets....
My industrial sewing machine by Reliable!!
This puppy sews 5000 stitches a minute!!
It pulls the fabric is SOOO straight you hardly have to guide it.
It sits in an oil bath...
so you know that's an engine!!
It is a workhorse!!
It only does straight stitch but that's what MOST of quilting is.
I have a 'couple' other machines for the fancy stuff..
(couple is a loose term 'for more than I need')
With a foot pedal like this.....

You know that's where the term 'pedal to the metal' might have come from!!
I love the knee lift also.
Lots of days,
I go to my sewing room at 6:30am and spend an hour.
It's my therapy.
I am a very, very sick person.
I need all the doctoring I can get.
I feel a fever coming on...
Christa
Like you, I need sewing in my day every day even if it's just 15 minutes. I believe half of what you say. I believe you have a machine that sews fast. However, we Weyburn quilters have long known that you Torquay quilters live in a time warp where you do have 10 extra hours in your day. Happy sewing!!
