Totally Gets It
What joy to have a five-year-old grandgirl who totally gets it. Turn on the machine, thread in needle and bobbin, lower the pressure foot, needle in the fabric to pivot, change stitches here, step lightly on the foot pedal. And her foot reaches the foot pedal. I started her out with the pedal on a box but that wasn't necessary.
I got her this little machine at a yard sale, $10, nothing great but far better than the "toy" machines. Next time I'll introduce her to the joy of a top-drop bobbin and fancy stitches. For now, though, she's totally happy and so am I.
I love to make quilts of all kinds and usually do some kind of sewing almost every day. On my blog, I try to include a combination of my quilting projects, family news, and things I'm doing.
