My nephews unpacked and threaded up then began sewing on the brother quilter. This was my new machine and while I was preparing food they did all this on their own. They also helped to make the blocks join and sandwich and finally walking foot quilting.
They were 10 and 4 . I only reduced speed for them, they did manage to break a needle and it was then with help from my brother they changed it.
they are very practical boys and had listened carefully when the dealer gave me a demonstration of my machine.
