Random Tip #2

The pros and cons of hand sewing and machine sewing. It may look a little bias, and it is. That's because I tend to use hand sewing a lot more than a sewing machine because I don't have one that actually works. ^^; So yeah, well here you go!

HAND SEWING

Pros:
Quiet
Easier to do small things like very detailed embroidery
Easier to work with thicker fabrics and more folds of fabric
Very portable
Doesn't cost that much

Cons:
Takes a really long time to sew large projects like Cheshire's gloves (manga version)
Very hard to keep your stitches straight
Less professional look
Can be a lot harder for beginners, but practice makes perfect!

MACHINE SEWING

Pros:
Easy to use (sometimes ^^;)
Has a more professional look
Takes a lot less time to complete larger projects
Depending on what kind of sewing machine you have or get, it can be easier to use than had sewing

Cons:
Not portable
Loud (well louder than hand sewing)
Costs a lot more than hand sewing, you can buy one at a DI or any other thrift store :)
Uses electricity which in turn can raise your electrical bill if you use it a lot
