"Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most" Have this little sign framed in my sewing room, used to be in my office.
68 and so can relate to all of you. Sewnoma, I do like the chalkboard sticker idea for machine. I like to note what size needle is in the machine and I change often so date is important too. They say the size is on the needle, but my eyes say "is not". |
Love sticky notes - we often said as teachers we didn't know how we ever taught before them. Of course, many of today's present teachers have always had them! Anyway, I have found so many uses for them, especially with my quilting!
Love the brightly colored ones - really help me keep organized and love being able to put notes on my sewing machine. |
I turned 70 last year. Talk about falling apart!! The one that is most happy to see me is the doctor who does the colonoscopy.
|
This is the reason I put my new machine aside and went back to using my vintage machines. I hate having to reset my machine every time I turn it on.
|
I hardly ever forget the settings for the 1/4 seam.....since I took apart the entire baby quilt!!! The picture is a good idea. I will try that next time I need to remember "just where was that stitch anyway".
|
Notes are a good thing. I use them often.
|
My brain is connected to my hand writing. Without writing things down I am dead in the water. I taught at a university and getting the concept of writing things down was hard for many of my students to accept. After missing deadlines because they forgot and not having any "do-overs" like they must have had in high school they began to see the merit of this method.

I'm right there with you too.

Ditto..I have Brother machines..I can choose a stitch and needle setting...and save it to memory. However, I the machine still turns on w/ left needle position, and I have to push the memory button to take me to the saved setting. If I could get the center position all the time, I'd be so happy. Don't know how I am missing that option?
