I take my FW,cutting/ironing mat,a project precut and ready,a travel iron,pins,thread,scissors,and "jack the Ripper", and an extension cord. I sewed on the picnic table every day for a week when I was at Sisters quilt show week. I'm camping now...no electricity,I have my GMFG to work on. Beats the hck out of biting off the fingernails of boredom! LOL!
