| I have been working on covers for my machines, and today I decided to let each machine make it's own cover. Now it occurs to me that covers can be very personal and offer a good chance to get to know your machine (if it is new to you). Try out your machines capabilities..add pockets, loops for holding stuff, applique on it, decorative stitching, etc. You will get to know your machine and it will have it's own personal cover when you are done.---This would work for sergers too. Sticking a small note pad in the cover pocket (which you have made) can keep track of what needle/settings you have left in the machine when you go back to it some time later. |

I'm taking a machine orientation class Saturday and we will be sewing out all the stitches on our machine. I think I will take a large enough piece of fabric to make a cover. I think this is a great idea!

I like your idea! Especially keeping a note pad in the cover to keep track of the needle/settings. It might also be a good idea for me to write "sewing reminders" for my current project on the pad as well; for example, making note of an unusual seam allowance or sewing order.

Great tip, never thought about making pockets on the cover, makes me think of a lot of things I could add to mine. Thank You

I like your idea. The pocket could also be a good place to keep a running list of needed supplies.

Excellent idea! Wish I would have read this before I finish my machine covers! Perhaps this will be just the excuse I need to make new ones! LOL!
