I have read about all the help we share and how many newbies we get started. I have loved to read all your groans and moans especially about sewing on the binding. Doesn't bother me a bit. HOWEVER, I realized this week what I REALLY hate to sew. It's replacing zippers in jeans. After four boys I have had it up to you know where. They were still bringing them home to Mom to fix twenty years after they were on their own. All I heard was "But Mom, these cost me $75 and I've only worn them five times." At that price that zipper should last 50 years. I just had to do one for a dear friend. What could I say. She took me in for my oral surgery, waited over an hour and brought me home. You should have heard me. I was saying things that would have made a sailor blush.
