I'm not doing anything special today - just hemming some pants, making some repairs, that kind of thing. I've got a blanket I've had for ages whose trim periodically falls off. I remember sewing it back on by hand in college - holy crap, took forever. Literally hours, if enough fell off. With the sewing machine? Zippety-zip and I'm done. Perfect tiny little stitches.
The only problem is that I keep it in the closet in the spare room. We keep the heat shut off in that room when no one's actively in there. This machine is so cold. Waves of cold rolled off it when I took it out of the box. Heck, I opened the little compartment the bobbins live in twenty minutes later, and it was still cold. So very, very glad I don't have to go outside today.
