I make my own patterns because Venus and my Yorkie, Sparrow, are too small for a lot of pre-made patterns. I love sewing and crafting. I'm going to try and crochet something for them, but I'm so reluctant to do anything by hand. Sewing is so fast and easy that I'm spoiled at how quickly I can get a finished product.

Get fresh jeans needles and good jeans thread. You can lengthen your stitch a little bit too and that should help. I've never had a problem, and I've made leashes and other thick things. If your machine is in good order and your needles and thread are new and a good match for whatever you're sewing it should be fine.
