My DH sews so much better than I do! He is one of 7 children (the other 6 are girls) and when Mom taught the girls to sew, she taught my DH as well. He has no interest (at least now), but I have a "go to" person when I get stuck. He is also an engineer, so figuring sizes and yardage, he is great at that.
Time to take your DH shopping for his machine! Hope you get your longarm, too!
