My hubby if asked will help,give suggestions,opinions, and always helps with little fix up ideas.He holds quilts for pictures,makes adjustments to machines if needed, and fixes things if needed, and is always willing to make a new shelf or whatever. I usually sew during the day while the guys are all gone, but they usually do not touch a sewing machine unless boredom has set in and then it must be extreme boredom. When I was setting up my Sewing Studio he was there helping fold fabric and organize too.
