Bravo! I love it when a man can embrace what the "average" man would say is only meant for women. I was so pleased with my boyfriend when he went to my toga meet and actually decided to use a hand crank, on his own (no pushing by me) and sewed some decent blocks. I imagine the singer 66 he won me, which i will be converting to a hand crank will be dual owned by him and i. I love a man whose confident to go outside his manly comfort zone and do things uncommon to the male stereotype. So all that said, congrats! Enjoy the hobby!!
