Happy New Year Everyone!! Today, I want to show you how to take a new sewing machine or serger out of it’s box… the right way 
I’m working on a new Decorative Fashion Serging Techniques Class for Pattern Review, and I’m going to use the Babylock Ovation in the class. 
When the serger arrived on my doorstep the other day, I almost ripped open the box I was so excited. It’s been a long time since I’ve had the opportunity to open a new machine… I almost forgot myself! I’ve worked at a sewing machine dealer for almost 10 years… I know you never damage or throw away the box. So I decided that it might make a good quick tip to show you how to unbox a machine. Since I shot this video, I’ve also had the chance to play with the serger…I’m in love. After I have the opportunity to put it through it’s paces, I will do a video review. Plus, some quick tips showing my favorite features.
…I’m really excited… I have a lot of fun things going on to start the New Year. I want to take a moment and thank everyone who follow, support, and cheer me on. I really feel like this is going to be a big year for J Stern Designs, and I look forward to offering you guys all sorts of creative new patterns, workbooks, workshops and other fun stuff.
So, if you need a reminder on how to open a new sewing machine or serger… check out today’s video. If not, stay tuned, I’ll be back next week for more fun stuff. I’ve been keeping a list of Quick Tips that are answers to email questions and other things that occur to me. If you have a sewing, fitting or design question, please let me know, and I’ll put it on the list!
