Who taught you to sew? My Mom first worked with me on the machine at 5 years old. She put phone books under the pedal so I could reah it

What frustrated you the most about your sewing machine? the tension

What would make it easier to learn to sew? Having a set place to leave the machine set up...Many times I wanted to work but didn't have enuf time to drag everything out and get something done.

What did you do to conquer the sewing machine? Practice,practice,practice and a very patient mother

What kept you going? I loved spending the time with my Mom..it was special one on one time..I developed a love for the craft too.

Where did you keep your sewing machine? Case or Cabinet? It was in a case in the closet until I was using it.

When did you conquer the sewing machine? About the age of 7 I was pretty proficient with basic sewing

How did you ever learn to quilt? My mother first taught me as she learned. Later a woman from my church began to hold a weekly quilting session at her house..I learned a LOT of very practical things from this group

Did you use a straight stitch or zig zag sewing machine to learn to sew? The machine I learned on was my mother's 8th grade graduation present..it didn't HAVE a zig zag!!

Were you a child or an adult when you learned to quilt?Quilting was something I learned as an adult..I now enjoy teaching one of my daughters
