I've always done a lot of hand hemming and hand finishing, but lately I
am having a hard time not hand sewing. I started hand sewing everything
when my Viking's straight stitch went wonky. There was a period of two
or three months where I took it to repair places who did not fix it
properly. In the meantime I was doing hand sewing exclusively. Then I
replaced the Viking with my Bernina and furthermore, found a great
repair place that fixed the Viking like new, meaning I now have two
sewing machines in great working order. And I'm still wanting to hand
seam everything. I just got into it.

Finally finished hemming a neck kerchief for my colonial. That's one
long hem, but I insisted on doing a hand hem.
