When I first started piecing a quilt, I have made clothes for years, I could not sew a 1/4" seam. But I had the strange additute that if I do not worry about it I would improve. Now I have a nice 1/4" seam, my points are nice and my seams match. I enjoy what I am doing and most all looks good. Let her enjoy what she is doing accracie will come with time. I am also a poor speller.
