If I can help anyone with questions on machines or maybe how to do something you have never done before, like re-upholstering, slip covering, draperies, or even alterations, please don't hesitate to PM me.
Being a quilting board, the other skills might not be appropriate to discuss here.
I have sewn for most of my life, started with making clothing for me and then my kids. I have made curtains, duvet covers. When I started quilting everything else fell by the wayside. I took an upholstery class and recovered a chair, but I used the shops industrial machine. I just have an old Bernina (which I love) but I don't know if it could handle upholstery, or slip covers (which I would love to learn to make)
