---

I can sew on a sewing machine thanks to my aunt and grandma. the hardest part to me was threading the bobbin/needle; after that it's pretty easy. I wish I did it more often but I don't have my own sewing machine

---

lol is it bad that I don't know what threading the bobbin/needle means?

not bad - they were seamstresses that's the only reason i know! the bobbin is the spool of thread you put underneath the machine needle to loop it down into... it sounds complicated (it was for me) but once you get it sewing on the machine is great and doesn't take long... I wouldn't sew table runners by hand. you would want even stitching and that's harder to do by hand (and takes forever). maybe you can borrow someone's machine and try it first?

I Went to the fashion district in manhattan, theres a whole block with just fabric stores. To get it sewn was about $140

i do not like threading either...i still make my mom do that part for me cuz her machine is really old (i think the newer ones have most user friendly features)
