That’s a good point that there’s different types of simple. If there are buttons, mom will push all of them figuring one will do what she’s trying to ‘fix’. She also likes to mess with tension too much. If there’s a machine that takes care of tension and can’t be changed by human, that would be good.
I can’t remember the machine I used in a class, but threading was almost one step. Maybe a Singer?
If I could design a machine for her, it would have no buttons and be voice controlled to change stitch type and an auto threader. The goal for me is to have an enjoyable time working through projects and not virtually troubleshooting.
Thanks for the ideas so far. I’ll look at each of them.
