MY mother was my teacher,I can't remembr the age I started I think about 5, on a tredle singer machine. Even on that you could
sew through you finger if not careful. Of course I have done that a few times.
What beautiful memories I have when sewing ,of the times spent with my Mother.
I did take homemake in school which helped refine my knowledge. Quilting has become my favorite in the sewing realm.
