My BFF passed away recently after having a stroke 5 years ago. Her sewing machine was handy so her DH decided to mend something - she said she heard the most horrible "clunk" and he was hollering - had sewed his finger!!! Guess it isn't so easy is it??????

OUCH!:shock:



Learn To Do By Doing ... at it's best!
The need was there, and so he did what he wanted.
Sometimes we do learn the best when we don't know that we "can't"!
And now onwards for him!

Actually he has us figured out ... it's all about sewing in a straight line


ITA with Holice ... buy him a beginners book and/or invite him over and help him learn some of the basics.

It can be easy.. but what did you want it to look like ? LOL.

We were just giggling.

:thumbup:I agree with Tartan! LOL, she always has the best replys.

I'd have to invite to a quilting party. Ha
peace

I'd encourage him to try it. Why be negative?

Lots of sexism here.

I think he would be best to take a sewing class for beginners. He needs to learn sewing can be dangerous. Sewing a straight line isn't always easy, let alone sewing a 1/4" seam line. He sure has lots to learn.

so, are you not willing to teach him some quilting? I would be happy that now that he has figured out a machine- and knows quilt piecing entails straight seams that he thinks he should take that next step= my sons and nephew all started innocently enough- then jumped in with both feet all 3 of them challenge me regularly- young men are adventurous- don't worry about *old stuck in the mud rules*, have great color sense and if they have a desire they should certainly be encouraged. after all- being able to sew a straight line is the foundation to successful quilts.

He has to start somewhere!
