  • Katzilla wrote on January 5, 2:34 pm

    Awww... I don't really NEED it because I have a half-decent sewing machine right now, and I do fine work with it ;___; There's no way I'd win.

  • Andrew (anon) wrote on January 5, 9:21 pm

    How do i upload my video to the site? I'd really love to win this contest.. Its not vary fun having to use my moms sewing machine all the time (SUPER LAME!)

    I love this site vary much. Its really opened my eyes to fashion.But i still have a closet full of bleak and boring clothes, and its going to be a bit hard changing that with a machine that makes stone henge look brand new -.-

  • BlackcatFriday13thBrokenMirrior wrote on January 6, 11:06 am

    I want to enter cause my mom's sewing machine fights with me in middle of my projects. It'll be going prefectly then thread and the bobbin fight. Even though I put the bobbin thread right way it'll still mess up.

  • Aurora199 wrote on January 7, 9:15 am

    Thank you for such a generous offer! I'm fortunate enough to already have a machine so I'll leave this to those who truely need it and who are better at using a video camera.

  • sew_me! wrote on January 7, 11:43 am

    I wish I could enter the competition. I don't have a sowing machine at all. No chance that you could send it to Ireland? O_O

  • Lynne wrote on January 7, 1:22 pm

    How do we go about submitting a video?

  • Miriam Berninger wrote on January 7, 4:33 pm

    Lots to do . Time and a good machine are paramount.

  • Edenza wrote on January 7, 7:38 pm

    I was just coveting sewing machines yesterday. If this isn't a sign from above, I don't know what is.

  • Nicola wrote on January 7, 7:56 pm

    This sounds rather ace!
    Is it open to UKers? (Bet it's not *sniff*)

  • Becci wrote on January 8, 7:55 am

  • Van wrote on January 9, 7:43 pm

  • Amy Gee Whiz wrote on January 10, 2:09 pm

    oooh I would love a new machine! The one I have is so basic but then there are so many of you saying you don't have one at all. I'd be a greedy-puss if I entered, wouldn't I? I "sew" desperately want to become a rockin seamstress - right now I can barely sew a straight line! LOL

  • virginialeigh wrote on January 12, 12:18 pm

    All I wanted for Christmas was a sewing machine . I asked everyone i know for one, and i was sure that my boyfriend got it for me. Come Christmas morning all the gifts are opened and no machine! The excuse, "Sewing machines are like $100". Well, duh, but aren't I worth it? I got a bunch of books about making my own clothes, but no sewing machine so really the books are useless. Sewing by hand can only get you so far. So please have mercy on a new diyer, and give her the (belated) Christmas gift she needs.

  • Theresa Hale wrote on January 13, 4:07 pm

    How can I win, I don't have a vidieo camera either. I really can use this sewing machine. I love to sew and I have been sewing for years, but my machine is broke and I can afford to get it fixed.

  • sewing-n-faith wrote on January 17, 4:13 pm

  • keji wrote on January 22, 5:08 pm

    I hope I win,been sewing by hand and saving pretty pennies hoping to buy a good one, seems its not just gathering up, people like what I do but they dont want handsewn things, so there, unfortunately, dont have a camera to enter plus I dont know if you do Manchester, UK
