I started teaching my daughter to sew when she was in Girl Scouts so she could earn badges. She like doing it, but my old Singer didn't like her and she got discouraged. As a Marine, she sewed name tags and patches on her friends' ahd her uniforms, but the machine still didn't like her. Over the years, she has taught herself to knit and crochet with the help of YouTube. Now that she has moved back home, she has started quilting and is having a great time making simple charity quilts. She is using up all my "why did I buy that" fabric and has made some really cute quilts. In addition, she is slowly but surely organizing my sewing room. I think she's trying to make enough room so that she can set up her own machine (I bought her a Singer 301).
