I've got several modifications I'd like to do to my seat cushion cover and the back of my chair. My original plan was to go to a tailor and see if they could do some of them, but who knows when they will open back up with everything that is going on.
So I was thinking about buying a sewing machine and giving it a shot myself. I'm not really sure how hard it is to learn.
I found this sewing machine, which is like $100 brand new. I need something small, because I don't have a very big place, and this fits the bill... though I have no idea if it's robust enough to sew through two layers of nylon and a layer of velcro, which I definitely need it to do.
I guess I would have already bought this if it weren't for the fact that I'm not sure I can operate it. It still uses a pedal like basically all other sewing machines I gather. I was thinking maybe I could hold the pedal in one hand or operate it with my chin or an elbow or something, but I'm not sure how feasible that is.
Anybody been able to use a sewing machine without using your legs?
