Thanks! Sewing machines and I haven't gotten along in the past so I'll need the luck. I do small repairs by hand but it would be pretty slow going on bigger projects.
Jeans can be tricky - denim's a pretty unforgiving fabric! Make sure you've got heavy-duty needles, and that you go slowly at first.
It may be helpful to try doing some practice stitching with muslin or some other inexpensive fabric and a contrasting thread - "sketching", if you will! ;D
Maybe I'll try a t-shirt project first to get the hang of it with cotton (plus I have more disposable t-shirts than jeans if I mess up :p). Heavy duty needles! Good call, since I need to buy more anyway.
