Yesterday my daughter Shannon and I actually spent some time in the sewing room. She worked on some cloth books for a friends son and I decided to try out the "quilt halo" my sister gave me. Several years ago I entered an ugly fabric contest and the wall hanging that resulted from that is what I am practicing on. I think I like it. It works good as long as there is a flat surface under the quilt and to my amazement it is easy to use. I suffer from Fibromyalgia and arthritis. Holding my arms up for long periods is tireing and trying to control the fabric makes my hands hurt. I found I can relax more and not fight to move the quilt. The limited area to stitch in will take some time to get used to but all in all it is a good product.
