I still use mine for quick hems. Do they offer classes in town near you?

Not that i know of, but since we bought a machine recently i can start to practice, but my husband has a little experience with it, so we're learning together.
Funny you mention hems, that's the main reason i first started thinking about sewing. I have been finding nice jeans at the resale shop, and i usually have to have them hemmed. Just this morning i found some nice Levis that fit perfectly except for the length. Good buy for $2.00
$2? Yeah, I'd hem them too. My mom is petite so almost everything needs to be hemmed if you can't find the exact size. So, I learned how to from necessity. 😀
I'm short too, so i often need pants hemmed. But yes, i love our resale shop here in town. A couple weeks ago i found a Patagonia vest, looked like it had not even been worn, for $4. I wore it christmas day to a family thing, and my snooty in-law commented that she liked it, said "Oh you got a new Patagonia vest". I told her how much i paid for it, and she said those cost $60 new. But all the womens jeans are $2.00, pretty nice.
