IMHO Minerva needs a crazy quilt cover for her, being 100 years old and all. hehe Bring on the velvet,beads and bling.
I use the cut-out notches of fabric and fleece from the corners when I make purses. A dime a dozen.

piney,
On some machines the lever all the way up simply reduces the stitch length to "0". Others will go to a sort of reverse that will allow you to back tack your stitches. And there are others yet that will go full reverse. They'll do the same stitches in reverse as it's set for forward. Those are fun to play with. It just all depends on the model and vintage of the machine.
Minerva has made the outer parts of her crazy cover already. Finished that yesterday. Am working on my Aunts quilts right now.
