From DR. Suess: Sometimes you never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory. It may seem as if my days are predominantly seeped in memories. I do take in each day to the fullest and what it may present to me. Soaking up as much as I can, I know I still have a lot to learn. An Example: nephew Brett made a trip to the metro yesterday to pick up a long arm quilter that he purchased on Craigslist. Last night I got a text telling me he could use my help today. There he was this morning, a bit flushed. He couldn’t get the sewing machine portion to stitch a single stitch. Check this, check that, check again. After several hours with Brett thinking he had bought a lemon, back to the YouTube videos. Taking the time to read the comments of some of people who had viewed them: The needle needed to be threaded from the left to the right. Dah! Nowhere in the owners manual was that important item mentioned. Lots of diagrams, but none showing the process of threading the needle. He had been accustomed on his Janome to thread from the right to the left and I have been fortunate enough to have hit the right angle first off on sewing machines I have had experiences with. I did have to satisfy myself and come home to thread my machine from the opposite direction . . . it would not sew a stitch. Lesson learned. This will be a memory of the two quilters who were totally puzzled by a needle, one that I would be hard pressed to pick up easily if it were lying flat.
