I've been sewing off and on since I was pretty little- probably 7 or 8 when I first used a machine.

Sunforger canvas isn't light! I've also been working on medieval (T-tunics mostly) and Elizabethan gowns.I've got 6 sewing machines in the house-
- Grandmother's 1922 Singer treadle machine (needs cleaning, but aside from that would work just fine),
- an old electric Singer from the 50's or 60's that I picked up at a yard sale because it actually has steel guts
- the industrial-strength Aristocrat that will sew 4 layers of Sunforger, chrome-tan or light veg-tan leather, etc.
- a basic basic Viking that was a high-school graduation present from the same grandmother who gave me her treadle machine (you don't need fancy stitches to do Elizabethan gowns)
- a Brother 1034D serger that I really haven't gotten to know yet
- and the big daddy- the Viking Designer SE Limited Edition computerized embroidery machine. Gawd that thing is luxurious to use- for both embroidery and "normal" sewing...
