IS THIS WHAT YOU CALL AN ADDICTION. As you know, my right arm is in a cast and I cannot

in anyway use my fingers. After 2 weeks, I am about to loose my mind, no embroidery, no cooking, cleaning, nothing. I am the type of person who is on the go from morning to night and not one to just sit and twiddle my thumbs. So this morning I decided I had to find a way to do some embroidery. After struggling to cut some fabric (slippery little bugger, kept running away from my cutting wheel) I managed to hoop some stablizer (put my thumb through the first piece) and place it in my machine. Picture this, holding down the grasp with my left hand and pushing the hoop in place with my mouth, YUP, still not willing to give it up. After finding a design with not too many thread changes, go to the next step. Threading the needle, I have an automatic threader but that little
thingy is so tiny it is ridiculous. After 50 tries and such frustration I thought I would have to admit defeat, but no NOT ME. Walked away before I started pulling my hair out and got myself under control, just one more try I told myself. Well 10 minutes later "VICTORY" but that is just one thread change, I have 8 more to go. It has taken me almost 90 minutes to finish this design (only 19000 stitches) but oh so gratifying. I have decided that I am not crazy enough to try sewing this (will be a tote bag eventually) and I will call it a day. I have a new found admiration for those who live with handicape.
ADDICTED - ABSOLUTELY.
