Recently, I had my induction on the sewing machines and I had to familiarise myself with the machine. The model I was given was the 'Husqvarna Viking 116'. As my first attempt on the sewing machine, I completed a few guide line sheets to test my sewing skills. This involved me sewing directly on the lines of a piece of paper, either straight lines, curved lines or more complex patterns. I then experimented on the sewing machine by selecting each setting such as zigzag or curved to complete 8 different styles of stitch on a piece of Calico.
