Might I suggest that you at least try one of the potholders with the machine. Set it for a long stitch (basting) so that if it doesn't meet your standards, you can easily take it out. You might be surprised and they will sew up beautifully, in which case you might want to sew over your first stitches with a shorter stitch. If you're doing several layers and do not have a walking foot, just use lots of pins. In any event, good luck with learning and enjoying your sewing machine!
I like your gift idea for your crafting friend. She should really like that. So thoughtful.
Kim ~ Sorry your progress is being so sadly interrupted. Take care. Sweet plan for your DNiece.
I've been making progress on the quilting (about 1/4 done and taking a break). I hope to be 1/2 done by the end of the day.
