I have an embroidery machine, and I think that's part of it LOL ... why don't I just use that instead of driving myself nuts trying to do something, that quite frankly, I don't enjoy.
I'm usually one of those - I WILL CONQUER IT - but have to also recognize that I don't HAVE to do everything LOL
Seriously, I just took a really nice wall hanging (bargello) and wrecked it!
