The instant my 3 dogs hear the sound of a sewing machine power up they come running and assume their "quilting " positions. One sits in the bay window on a special bed I sewed for him. The other two lie on the pillows on the bed (my sewing room is my bedroom) They will stay in their spots until I am finished. Gizmo , my hairless crested, steals my thread when I'm not looking and take it spool and all and hide it under his window bed.
