    The accuquilt is helpful. Make sure to speak with your doctor and verify that you are on the best treatment. I wish you well and definitely be careful.

    Practice practice......
    If you want, you can also use clear thread, that way you can continue to improve your stitches and still feel good about the projects you are completing.
