I pretty much taught myself. My mom bought me a lot of my stuff cause she's been sewing for forever. A good pair of fabric scissors, pins, ruler, and bobbins. I have a board on pinterest that I have all my sewing stuff saved. I save pins that have detailed tutorials with them <br /><br />Good luck.

I bought one off Craigslist the beginning of December for $25; it was the kind I learned on, an old Kenmore. My MIL had bought one for me for Christmas. I've used both and like them. I'd DEFINITELY get a bobbin case if I were you and buy bobbins!!<br /><br />Do you have Jo-Ann Fabrics in Canada? If so, that's where I get most of my fabric. You can sign up for their flyers because they often send out pamphlets with coupons and let you know what's on sale.<br /><br />If you want to follow me on Pinterest, the link is: pinterest.com/mummytocharisAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16056071028372845761noreply@blogger.com
