I just posted elsewhere how much I HATE pinning. I pawn it off on my mother (who finds it relaxing) every chance I get. Actually this gives us time to talk - I sew, she pins. I like my mother now that I'm not a teenager anymore.... So if I had a Superhero sewing power mine would be Superhero Pinning Eyes so my eyes would shoot out pins so my projects would get pinned perfectly exactly where I was looking every time. What would yours be?

Hooping in a flash, I'd just twitch my nose and my project would be in the hoop, perfectly placed, exactly where it should be, ready for me to start embroidering.

I would have to agree with you! I would like to be able to twitch my nose and the hooping would be done perfect, first time every time. It is very rare to get it perfect the first try. Usually it will happen when you have that I don't give a heck attitude and just slap it on and sew. Of course that is maybe one time in a thousand.

...or more than just 24 hours a day...
I think I would love the power to slow time down, so that I could do all the projects on my mind.

I'm afraid I would have to say courage. I'm always fearful of starting a new project, because I don't think it will turn out well!

I need 2, hooping with perfect placement and changing bobbins! Maybe that's why I like redwork and FSL so much!

Creativity. While I very much appreciate projects others create.... I have a great deal of trouble seeing the vision for my own.
My ideas tend to be multiple and varied and without direction. So, give me a cape and let my ideas make sense.

I hate cutting threads, after stitching or embroidering or sewing anything, I hate to see small or large threads sticking out but I just as much hate to cut them, they take up to much of my time.

Mr. Clean! I hate the dust that comes into my sewing room. I'd love to have the ability to wave my magic pink wand and each and every machine were clean as new.

I would have that super breath where you just blow everything away and have a nice clean workspace and plenty of elbow room. Woooosh, it's gone. LOL

Confidence. sometimes after you get all excited to do a design and it doesnt turn out right, or your machine needs a time out. I LOVE embroidery but sometimes it is nerve wrecking. =0)

Hooping! and unhooping. As my thumb joint is very wobbly I would love to just look at the hoop and it tighten itself. Same for unscrewing the screw to change a needle.On bad days I have to wait till mu HB is home to undo the screw!

My sewing superhero power would be to have things that I want to make already cut out and ready to make. I do not like cutting out the most. Maybe add that it's cut and fit to size!!!!

My Superhero power would be no thread breaks at all and every design stitched out without snaging underneath the design!

Well there are some intresting answers written here & i will add my two cents.I would love to be able to understand this crazy computer so that it would not fight me by giving me some other command i never heard tell of THEN i coulds /would be able to follow instructions & make my own designs !! It is so frustrating not to understand what people mean.Sometimes i feel so dumb when its just a simple little thing like knowing how to drop down a line when writting,instead of having one longggggggggg story !!carolyn

All the answers have been great, now if we could get a superhero that would do it "all", we could pick out a design, load all the colors, sit back and enjoy the project when it's done...ok time to wake up and stop dreaming...lol...by the way.flowers for all for thinking of all these wonderful ideas

My hero would be a handsome "Super Saver Scissor", so I no longer would cut fabrics nor stablilizers the wrong size! He would save me so much time, then I could relax a bit! Of course, I would trade him in for a Super Duper Foot Massager, should he ever get "dull"!!

How about Super Organizer - would organize the room to the best working area - that every time you went to look for something it would be in the 1st place you looked and when you were finished - everything would automatically be put away?
