In our next session I will put the even-feed foot on the Brother machine so she can get the same results. Make sure she has an even-feed foot for her machine - these feet are available for all brands of machines. To encourage her, buy her quilting tools, fabric, or gift cards to stores that sell them. Your gifts don't have to be big or expensive, just meaningful. Talk to her friend that she sews with to see if she can give you some ideas. And by all means, compliment your wife's work. You're a good man to be so supportive and caring.
