Who taught you to sew? I learned mostly from my 6th grade home-ec teacher, Mrs. Bowers. But, my mom helped me out when I had a question at home.
What frustrated you the most about your sewing machine? I don't remember being frustrated at all. I was fascinated, loved sewing much more than cooking!
What would make it easier to learn to sew? Seriously, I didn't have any trouble.
What did you do to conquer the sewing machine? Again, no trouble.
What kept you going? I fell in love with sewing immediately!
Where did you keep your sewing machine? Case or Cabinet? My mom's was in a cabinet, the one I got for HS graduation was in a base with no lid (it was used), but is now in a cabinet.
When did you conquer the sewing machine? In the 6th grade (1974)
How did you ever learn to quilt? I taught myself by reading books from the library and watching quilting shows on PBS.
Did you use a straight stitch or zig zag sewing machine to learn to sew? The one at school was zigzag (don't remember what brand) and my mom's was an old Kenmore zigzag. My first machine was a Singer 401A, which I still use regularly.
Were you a child or an adult when you learned to quilt? I was 22.
