Blew $165 on a cheap sewing frame before I got smart
I tried to save a buck by building my own sewing frame from scrap wood I had in the garage, and the second signature pulled the whole thing apart mid-stitch. The $165 I finally put down on a real one from a shop in Columbus paid for itself on the very first book. Anyone else learn this lesson the hard way, or am I the only one who cheapens out on the tools that matter?
