i just live with the pain and hope i don't bleed all over it when i stick myself. :shock:
Thank you Patrice. I tried putting a thimble on my Bernina but that didn't work so well either.

I do have a book on hand quilting, but so far, the urge hasn't hit me.

I finished cutting out all the squares for making my flying geese this morning before work. Dang, these people seem to think they won't pay me if I don't come to work.

Well, off to program some robots.
