Quiltsru I find that if I knew it prior to accident...relearning is easier but if I didn't know it prior this is where the struggles come from. It took four years just to learn to thread my machine again and that was a major slap in the face for me. One more hurdle to go over; but I did. |
WOW loving your choice of fabrics. Remember step by step and soon you will get to the end. Have fun and good luck.

Hi. I agree. I have wonderful detail recall from before my accident. I have a terrible time with recall after it. Learning new things takes many rehearsals. I bought a sewing machine that practically threads itself because I found threading a machine really difficult. I tried a shadow lap quilt and got the shadow pieces in the wrong places. I'm going to finish the quilt but it was frustrating. I find spatial things really difficult. Also processing directions is another exercise in frustration. I went to an occupational therapist for a couple of years who led me step by step in making my first simple sewing project.

I became the Queen of Post-it's I think it's neat that the new machines come marked that way. |
God Bless you-I have a brain injury too. The confusion and vision difficulties make sewing challenging but I would never give it up! Good luck with your quilt. I hope you post photos!

I will post step by step photos as soon as I start. Finishing a special something for someone first. |

For others who are reading this here is an example: you want to blo-dry your hair. you look in mirror, blo-dryer raised ready to dry hair. Not a simple thing to do. The brain has to try and match all movements to what it is seeing in mirror. Spacially this is a problem; and not so easy. |
