Jaden the almost 6 Yo was having problems getting an even seam so I did the same for him and then he did much better. I let him use the 9000 b/c it had the speed control. he keeps forgetting to put the presser foot down, but other than that he does fine. we've only worked one afternoon so far. i have to cut out more squares and do some more planning, but here's what they've done so far. I think that i wil let them tie it, so that theywill do most of the work b/c I'll probably have to bind it. we'll see.

Thank you all for your great comments and stay tuned to this thread as I will keep you posted on their progress W/ pictures.

What can be better than that! Two wonderful, handsome young eager boys with a mission, and they certainly are. You must be bursting with pride and love. Lucky grandma! Look forward to seeing their finished quilt.
