I know this isn't what you asked and may not help you very much but we had a lady who came to our quilting class at Hancock's who had only one arm. She amazed me!! She had the best attitude too. Her best friend helped her to make all of her quilts but she always brought one to show and tell every month, and they were great! So, with a little help from her friends, your friend should be able to join in also. I hope you can find a way to help her with this. I think this lady's friend did the cutting and she did the sewing. This might work for yall! You are so kind to be willing to help her. Good luck!
