I've heard a glass of wine is a good idea...although I'm sure 'whatever relaxes you' would work too.

I drink water and coffee only whenever I am sewing. I am a very big water drinker. So there is always a glass or bottle of water within reach. Even if we go into a store, I have my bottle of water in my purse.

Once I am done for the evening that is a different story. I try and relax with a small glass of red wine. But go straight to bed after.

If I ever drank while sewing my 1/4" seam which I have a hard time at anyway, would probably wonder from 1" to 1 1/2" to 1/8" and so on.

I have not learned stippling yet, but maybe I should try that after having a glass. It might not be consistent, but it would be all over the place. :) :) :thumbdown: :thumbup:

Me too. LOL

only water and always in plastic cup with a handle that is no where near anything important!

Just coffee or water, wine would just put me to sleep! Coffees bad though too, because I have spilt it and stained stuff....it ALWAYS falls on the white, ya know!

Coffee! But its often cold by the time I get to it. I am really clumsy, but so far - no major disasters!

As for alcohol - I am learning as I get older that wine is just a bad idea for me!! The reason I am writing this at 4.20am our time is because I drank too much wine last night and I just CANT Sleep when I drink alcohol anymore!!! (drink alot maybe twice a year!!!)

However - My husband used to pour me a glass of wine while I was handsewing in the evening - but I never got a round to drinking it!! too engrossed!

I have never drunk wine and then operated the machine though......

Always have my glass of sweet Ice Tea

I am a lemon water drinker..at my machine.

sometimes my sewing drives me to drink!!! :mrgreen:

Oh dear... :)

I almost always have a cup of tea. Sometimes in the evening - I can be seen with a glass of wine, but only for the "boring" sewing bits :)
