Hand sewing is the only option with me because my sewing machine is the fabric eating DEVIL! However, I just bought some more fabric and I don't have the time to hand sew anymore...so I am going to use a machine again. Only this time, I am going to use an ANCIENT machine of sewing, like one of the first line of machines that ever came out. My mother in law uses it all the time verses her newer one because she says it works perfectly, is easier to use, and never has had any problems (unlike her new one that can't thread a bobbin). So, once I get to use that old one, I will tell you how it is. I would advise you try to use an older one (unless you can get your hands on a really nice newer one, the ones that are around $400 bob easily and can do soooo much, but alas, the ones $200 or less that I've heard people use, have been a pain).

By ANCIENT do you mean that it has a foot pedal that you tip back and forth to make it run and there is no electricity? I've always wanted to use one of those. 3nodding
And on topic, sewing machines are wonderful. Learn to use one and your life will be so much more creative! I made a messenger bag on a sewing machine, but I added hand beading and ribbon embroidery details and I love it. So the machine for durability and hand sewing for extra bits.

I would LOVE to have an old, treadle style sewing machine. I think it would be cool to have something that could be used regardless of whether you have electricity or not, and that is more reliable than MY hand sewing. blaugh Of course, that would require some place to put it. I keep looking in the want ads periodically, though.
