It is good to see you back, I always enjoy your videos. I have a wheelie chair on carpet and had the same difficulty that you are experiencing. Ikea have a large perspex sheet which you can put on the floor and this allows you to trundle.

Rachel, you constantly amaze me. I can’t believe how much sewing you get done and I’m still stuck on the same pair of trousers. I do have more fit issues than you do. But I am also very slow. You certainly pack a lot into every single day. As I recall, I also did a lot of sewing when my children were little. Now that my grandchildren are little I hardly so for them. Lol. You really inspire me and help me see patterns in a different way. Thanks so much for a great vlog

Wheelie chair and carpet- many years ago I got a hard plastic mat(not sure what you call it? ) from ikea in the office furniture area. About 75 cms x 1 metre approx and it is great . It does slowly creep across the floor over a period of time but it’s easy to shove back. Just googled it Kolon floor protector might be a bit bigger than mine.

What a lovely way to start the work week by watching your video over a cup of coffee! (Before work, not during work 🤣) Thank you! I'm curious how you managed the bulk of your quilt when you sewed the serpentine stitch. I've only sewn one lap-sized quilt and I found all the bulk to be a real barrier to more quilting. Probably need to adjust my attitude in order to enjoy quilting.

Hi Alecia! I’m glad you enjoyed it! It was fun to catch up! Yes that quilt was quite large!!! So I did it at my quilting bee which has a lot more space and because I did the quilting on the diagonal I kinda rolled up the fabric on one side and squashed it through my sewing machine! It was tricky and hard on the shoulders but it worked in the end!! 😂😂
