You will need help if you use a rotary cutter, Mabe get precuts? Since machines use 1 foot you will be OK there. I agree it will be good for you, and I admire your desire to try.

Welcome from Texas. Having RA there are times I can't hold a needle so I know how it feels to want to sew and can't. Will pray you find a way soon so you can do what you love.

where there is a will, there is a way! My county extension club just had a program on all these new gadgets made to help people who have had strokes or accidents, with doing everyday things. It is amazing what all they showed us. I will have to find that info and see if there is something that can help you. I do know that you will have to set your machine up so that you have more space on the right hand side to put things, so you can grab them easier. I think you can do this...

Welcome from Oklahoma!
