[Nfb-krafters-korner] blind child with residual vision in asewing class

[River Woman]

Yes, I stand outside by the road at night, and I say to myself, "Tonight, I 
think I can ride my bike again." I have a very awesomemotorcycle that I 
loved to ride for hours on end in the summer and fall...sigh. Still have my 
bike... I know my husband misses our rides together. Crap - sorry, this is 
off list and NOT about crafting...haha

>> I use nothing fancy, but I have a plastic credit card masking taped to

>> needle
>> 1/4  inch.  I use quarter inch seam allowance on almost everything.
>> So if you want 5/8seam allowance securely tape something like a
>> plastic credit card to  the bed of the machine.  By positioning the
>> credit card approximately
>> 2
>> inches forward from the foot of the machine, but 5/8 inch to the right
>> it will  extend back from the foot far enough.  I butt the fabric up
>> against the plastic edge and this is my guide.I can keep my right hand
>> and  feel the edges of the fabric moving guiding with the left fingers
>> in front and  the right in back of the foot.I can feel the pins
>> approaching the foot and stop
>> them to remove them.  I use quilting pins to pin my seams together. 
>> They
