I've put off sewing up my Argon and down UL UQ until getting better at sewing.
Had dinner last night with a former Home Economics teacher, who is now a Ph.D. candidate at Texas Tech.
I told her how difficult it was to sew lightweight fabrics.
She suggested a smaller needle and using tissue. That gives me a lot of hope for future projects.

Learn to survive and thrive in any situation, for you never know what might happen. Love family and friends passionately. Suffer no fool. Know your purpose in life and follow it with all your heart.
Make sure you change that needle often. Tissue is a very coarse wood pulp product and will the needle faster than you can imagine. It will work, but there is a downside and a cost.
I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.
"Bless you child, when you set out to thread a needle don't hold the thread still and fetch the needle up to it; hold the needle still and poke the thread at it; that's the way a woman most always does, but a man always does t'other way."
