I can spend an inordinately long period of time trying to figure out fabric amts. get exasperated, come back later and work it out, only to return later and wonder how the heck I did that! Of course I'm a lefty/ righty combo (do somethings left handed and other things right handed) so I think that may affect how I function at any given moment! LOL That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Will certainly try this. As you can see, I need all the help I can get just to get through the day. :thumbup:

I also function as a left/right handed person. I like your story, so I'm sticking to it also :thumbup:

Problem is my right brain tends to wander and left will follow

Yes, of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most! LOL

The brain solves problems like this when we take a short "vacation" from the attempt to solve the problem.

And thank God, most of the time, the problem isn't a serious problem.
