Men who quilt
#181
My ex SIL got me into quilting! He wanted to make my daughter a quilt. So I pieced it and he hand quilted it!! He did a great job. He was a roofer that became dis-abled, but we made some beautiful quilts!!!!!! It is very relaxing!

To me there are no sex related hobbies, if you want to do something then do it. If any one claims they are not "real" men because they quilt they are probably jealous because they can't do it. Tell him to go for it.

Men should be advised that a sewing machine is very similar to a jigsaw. The blade is like the needle, so guiding and following the lines is the same concept. Both have variable speed motors. And I have never heard of anyone who sewed thru the power cord!

I just returned from new owners classes on my Innova quilting system. The shop owners, Teryl and John McKnight both quilt. John told me that when he started quilting, the stash MORE than doubled! She uses more room with all her machines, and John pieces on a Featherweight.
