[Nfb-krafters-korner] Sewing machine project?

[Susan Roe]

I have a sewing machine and know how to use it.  My sister and I were taught 
early on how to use one.  When I went to the rehab center in Richmond, they 
showed me how to set it up for me to use easier.  I also took home economics 
before I lost my sight.  I use butcher paper for larger pattern pieces and 
card stock or cardboard for smaller pieces.  I mainly use the machine for 
long straight seams that would be through more than two layers because it is 
quicker than by hand.  I quilt by hand and have one of the larger quilting 
fraims that allows the quilt to be roled up on it like a scrole.I have used 
the machine to do the four long seams on the four outer edges which would go 
through the quilt top, batting, and backing before you fold the edges over 
and then sew the final edging seam by hand.  We have one of those smaller 
sewing machines, but haven't taken the time to really check it out.
