thanks again for your nice response. I think without it I would have quit tonight.
DH is very suportive of my sewing hobby, but working on my third cover for the coverlock he was making a joke about keeping covering things to my sewing room - please! It was the kind of joke you could tell, that he really worries about that kind of decoration in the rest of the house :oops:
Well, my sewing machine table and the cutting table I am working on were built by him, so I forgive him for not liking my covers
