Who taught you to sew? I taught myself to sew after seeing the beautiful quilts my husband's grandmother made.
What frustrated you the most about your sewing machine? I had a hard time figuring out a tension issue.
What would make it easier to learn to sew? having someone show me, lead me through the process, but I didn't have that luxury.
What did you do to conquer the sewing machine? It was my great grandmother's machine that had been passed down to my mother and passed down to me and it had never been serviced. I took it to a pro who cleaned it and serviced it and set all the settings correctly and I haven't had a problem with it since. I'm still using it today.
What kept you going? Wanting to make beautiful cloth art.
Where did you keep your sewing machine? Case or Cabinet? it's built into a cabinet that opens up.
When did you conquer the sewing machine? about 15 years ago.
How did you ever learn to quilt? I taught myself using books and a lot of trial and error. I really love The Quilter's Complete Guide by Fons and Porter!
Did you use a straight stitch or zig zag sewing machine to learn to sew? It has both but I usually use straight.
Were you a child or an adult when you learned to quilt? Adult.
