AI is Nuts!

I am tired of people, with little knowledge of crafts and the amount of time they can take, going gaga over images of cute grannies decked out in crocheted garments alongside their car or motorcycle also wearing crocheted stuff, and then suggesting, in all seriousness, that I might like to create such a garment. This type of AI example seemed to flood my now gone social media sites.

Today this find is on Nancy's Notions, once a very reputable place to go for information. While a gem in the AI genre, this statement will likely have the fabulous late Nancy Zieman extremely perplexed, along with concern from health and safety experts.

"Position your fabric under the needle, aligning the starting point of your stitching with the desired location on the fabric. Gently rock the machine back and forth while guiding the fabric, allowing the needle to create the stitches. Maintain a steady rhythm and avoid jerky movements to achieve smooth and even stitches."

This is part of an instruction in a free motion quilting article and clearly the reason I have failed with free motion quilting!!!

  1. That is hysterical "rock the machine" what??? I am so sorry you are facing such health challenges, Sue. That drive to your treatment must be just so very tiring! Prayers sent your way.
