I sure love the kind heartedness I always find in this forum. It is wonderful. I agree with many here...do what you can to help this woman learn whatever form of sewing she needs, and do it at her home, or in your garage IF that is workable for you. Maybe she NEEDS to be out of her home and accepted, but do it on your terms, so no one is upset if things get broken. Good luck and I applaud you for wanting to help out. We need more folks like you in our world.
