What a great system. You tell Sam what to do and she tells you what to do. Together you have created a very wonderful quilt.

When my smaller sewers come to visit, I put my sewing machine on the coffee table. It makes everything within reach, and by leaning down over it a bit, it's also easier to see just where the stitches are going. We started by following lines on paper. Another thing I did was to turn the speed of my machine down, so that no matter how hard the pedal is stepped on, the needle won't go too fast.
