Yes. I know. The expression is photographic memory - but I have
learned how to use the camera for memory.
One of the Christmas tree skirts began with a printed panel. Of course,
none of the blocks were straight or square. Step 1 was to cut them apart
and attempt to square them.
Step 2 was to arrange them on the design wall to begin thinking about
how they would become a skirt. . . and not lose the arrangement as they
were framed or paired or whatever.
Ta-dah! I took a picture and printed it. Using the camera saved me heaps
and lots of thinking and unstitching. I surely do thank whoever
mentioned that trick here. It is one easy grand help. Polly


I take pictures of each step whenever I take something apart that needs
to go back together, like the tension on my sewing machine. I actually
started doing this back in the olden days with a polaroid.
