Well, she showed me how to operate the machine, but the rest was up to me. :~)<br /><br />But I did manage to learn, some of it, and I LOVE fabric stores. Sounds like the one you have near you should be called either Fabric Heaven or Clothaholic's Temptation.JDConwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17610411044128692258noreply@blogger.com
