Our plan is to create quilts for local NICU in Oklahoma in honor of her daughter who passed away 10 years ago. Her daughter was a respiratory therapist at Children's Hospital and LOVED "her babies." Creating these quilts is something she really needs to do for herself.
In the last couple of years she has become weaker due to illnesses, so I'm wondering which of the three cutters would benefit her the most. I have the GO but I'm sort of leaning more toward the GO Baby for her. I'm sure it weighs less and will be easier for her to handle and operate. I would love to hear your opinions. She is a wonderful lady and I want to help her begin to craft again. As we all know sewing/crafter is WONDERFUL therapy.
I hate to ask a really stupid question, but if she's weak, how is she going to turn the crank? I'm fairly strong adn that bloomin' think makes me grunt every time I turn the crank.
