Just family and I always do it. The most fun one was a snowmobile cover that was heavy canvas that had gotten torn, hard to squish it under the needle, but the repair was a thing of beauty! My DSD is very petite and asks me to hem to jeans then never gets around to having me measure her inseam so I can hem them...works for me!!! Luckily they don't ask very often cuz I really don't enjoy it like I enjoy quilting.
