i'm learning to sew using a sewing machine. i have two second-hand sewing machines.
stuff breaks and threads jam and half the time i don't know if i did something wrong or the machine did something wrong.
it's tempting to quit. it's also tempting to think a new machine will fix all the problems. the "parent" in my head is trying to soothe me into being patient with the machines and with my learning process.
and then the catgirl in my head just wants to make a mess.
