He stays out of my sewing room and I stay out of his garage. It works for us.

Mine will help if I ask to help me with something. He is computer savvy and mechanically minded (I'm not). He is learning how to work the embrodiery machine and knows how to sew. (His mother sewed all the time and taught him). Aboard ship years ago, he sewed patches on uniforms for his shipmates. So he is very handy to have around and does not mind going to fabric stores or quilt shows.

My DH works out. When it comes to the office, goes through my place of sewing, and still looks long!
Only if he sees me worried or angry because something does not come out, question and "supports" my download of frustration!
Think ... (Do not understand or want to learn) ... but always ends up giving me the right answer!
And most importantly ... allows my expenses in fabrics, books and more! It's the closest I can put the patchwork that!
Hahahahaha!
Congratulations to your DH!
But in defense of my DH ... he cook dinner while I sew!
A big hug!

Sounds just like mine.

My BF helps! He loves to arrange blocks. He has his own little "stash" of fabrics and my rejected blocks.

Absolutely!! by letting me quilt/shop when I want... by not being surprised (or upset) that I "played" all day instead of making him a fancy supper... by his encouraging words (he thinks everything I make is pretty :lol: ) ... He's wonderful!!

Heavens NO!!!!!!

DH likes to pick out fabric and notions and always getting something for the sewing room, but no quilting. He'll fix or rethread the serger and fix the problems and put air conditioner and fans in room, but no quilting. He will also make templates for me.

My husband helps me put my jean quilts on the quilt frame he built me with 3 rollers. He does the pining with big saftey pins because he thinks I'm to slow. I do the tieing. Helps turning the rollers with quilt on.

yup! he buys everything. and then tells me how wonderful everything i make is. then he leaves me alone and lets me do it my way. and he makes his own dinner--now that's help.

My DH is a bargain hunter. He has btought me bolts and rolls of fabric. He found a Bernina 830 for $15 and paid to have it cleaned and for additional feet. As you can imagine I possess some wild fabric. It is always a challenge when starting a project. Wish I had time for all the 'stuff' he brings me. :-)

My DH helps me with layouts

He helps in several ways. When I ask his advice about colors, layout or borders, he gives his honest opinion. I may not take his advice, but I appreciate what he has to say.

He sets up sawhorses with plywood on top outside so I can put my quilt sandwich together with spray adhesive. I don't like spraying inside - don't like the overspray on the floor or walls.

Mine Too. He will make a template when I ask him. He has learned to stay out of the sewing room, and I stay out of his side of the garage. LOL

My DH put my tin lizzie together, he talked me in to buying a new cutting mat today, he used to help me roll the quilts when I used my quilting frames I inherited from my mother and grandmother. He helps me sometimes with layouts when I can't make up my mind. You might say he is woven in the fabric of my quilts. What a treasure!

helps measure/cut and makes templates ,am v grateful.

My husband has great color sense. He is a painting/decorating contractor and he is great when it comes to arranging blocks on my design wall or recommending border colors. And he has been very patient while I converted one bedroom into my sewing room - and kind of overtook the next room with storage cubes for my surplus stash.

Yes, my DH helps me. He helps me with on advice on how to arrange the blocks, decide whether it needs sashing or not, and helps me rip out seams.

my husband would help me pick out fabric (that was in the good ole days when we could afford it) I mention a thought about a designs and he will spend hours on EQ6 designing one for me, he is an engineer so he's good at all that drawing and math stuff and I think if he wanted to learn to sew he could do better than I could on quilts. Now he justs builds furniture

Yep...he tells me how beautiful each and every thing I make is, even if it isn't.!!!
