This thread has been so helpful. Thanks to the op for starting it and to the others for building on that info. I usually have soft music playing in the background, but I think I'll try listening to a book.

I am and audible.com junkie. Any money that doesn't get spent on quilting is used on audible books. I listen right from my iphone where ever I go, what ever I do. It gets spendy, but it is worth it to me.

I start to listen as I sew but then find I forget to pay attention as I get too involved in sewing!
