this is my first try so please have mercy! the vertigo hit in 2007. i didnl't mind not working 40 to 80 hours a week once the disability started but i miss my sewing machine!!!! I am trying to build my tolerance to motion byt it's hard. It just kills me to throw up on a quilt top.Mine is caused by nerve damage. cuncusion followed by an ear infection. i gave my kenmore sewing machine to my sister when she needed one.She brought me a nearly worn out treadle and her equally worn kenmore. I can do more with the treadle than the electric but mostly i'm learning and doing handwork. I love hand piecing but it does take a lot longer to do! it's not so easy to not look at the dogs bed when i've spent weeks working on it!thanks for all the help to keep sewing!!
