Trying out the sewing machine

I am trying to sew some pillow covers for the boys.  I know, I can but a new one, but the boys’ bed are just fine, except for the covers.  They are frayed and plenty of holes.  I think from all the weekly washing since 2004.  I tried to sew the covers last night and encountered some problems.  The bottom stitches are loose.  Been checking it the whole night, same thing, it was loose.  I’m really a loser when it comes to crafts.

The boys are now bed-less which is actually doing Ranger good.  We think he is allergic to cedar since the veterinary dermatologist tested him that he is allergic to all sorts of woods, leaves, grass, weeds and a lot more.  The pred we gave him turned him into a different dog, personality wise.  I can just imagine the athletes using legal steroids will that change their personalities, their moods, and appetites?

I am going over to Corrine tomorrow hopefully she will be able to fix the stitch tension for me.  I want to try sewing some lounge pants.  It looks easy to sew, so will see how the machine works by tomorrow.
