It is a good idea to use hubby as sounding board. My hubby is a mechanic, reads schematics all the time. He is also better at special concepts, and seeing which way something should turn to work out correctly. That comes in handy if doing paper piecing. I think I've mentioned previously that he is great at wanting me to buy all the tools I need. Since he buys more than he needs!
