I spent £1500 on a Sewing Machine, was it worth it?

New Sewing Machine Unboxing / Setting up and First Impressions Juki DX7 Hales Moore 2021-09-07 | #JukiDX7 #SewingMachineReview #JukiSewingMachineI decided to upgrade my sewing machine after using mid range machines which were sadly lacking in some areas. This is the Juki HZL DX7 model, which comes with an extension table, programmable foot and plenty of LED light. I'll show you the basics of the special features of this Juki sewing machine and I will probably update you once I've used it for a good while, but so far so good.You can usually find me over on Instagram Stories:instagram.com/halesmooresewing

PDF organising and more decluttering ep3 Hales Moore 2021-07-16 | #decluttering #pdfsewingpatterns #fridaysewsWelcome to episode 3 of my delcuttering saga! In today's video of Friday Sews I am showing you how I've been organising my sewing pattern pdfs, as well as how I store my pdfs and how I go through the process of decluttering fabric and sewing patterns which are no longer of use to me. I've been following the methods by @TheMinimalMom and @DanaKWhite to sort out what I actually need. The Marie Kondo method is not working for me.

Decluttering my sewing room and getting distracted by 1980s patterns ep2 Hales Moore 2021-07-09 | #decluttering #SewingRoom #FridaySewsThis week I have been decluttering my sewing room, with thanks to everyone who commented on last weeks video about being a sewing hoarder (see link below). I've been watching Clutterbug on Youtube and think my organising style may be a butterfly - check out Cas below to see what I'm on about. This is part 2 of my decluttering series and I'm taking advice from the Minimal Mom and realising I don't need to hold on to things as much as I have been. Oh, and I also get distracted by some 1980s vintage sewing patterns in the process!Realising I'm a hoarder:youtu.be/Uu11y1BqdIIClutterBug:youtube.com/results?search_query=clutterbug+butterfly+organizingMinimal Mom:youtube.com/channel/UCeLICYOqHfIrfSAQq1TT7PAAmazon files for pdf storage *affiliate link:amzn.to/3xxXPs4
