I dont agree with this AT ALL!!!!
I think the time spent with her would be priceless!!! You should be honored by the fact she thiks so much of your handi work that she wants you to teach her. I would let her do the work though - just advise, Hopefully she wont talk too much about your ex and his new wife - if she does just change the subject. You can show her how "big" of a person you are to overcome the past. Hopefully your ex and his new wife wont discard it or not use it if your daughter proudly announces that mom helped. If they do it would be on them not you - you would certainly come out a winner if this happens..your daughter will appreciate the fact that you were "good" enough to help her make that special gift - maybe everone will think twice before saying negative things.
As far as sharing with newbees-as one I am so very grateful for those who have shared their talents and experience with me and I would think it would be an honor to share my expertise!!!!
