Photogenic memory
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 |

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. Judie |

Photogenic memory
And another camera use. Friend has a Viking Sapphire. Now and then at
mostly important moments, it decides to yank the thread loose from the little eye on the needle uptake lever. Makes quite a racket and mess. The local Viking dealer says that part is defective, that replacement levers were on back-order and asked for her SM's serial number. We found lots of numbers that 'may' be the serial number; took a picture of the whole label and emailed it. We hope that defect is covered with the warranty; we will be mighty annoyed if it is not. Maybe soon we'll be able to take our own pulse and temperature, stick out our tongue, take a picture and email it to our doctor's clinic. Yess. More time for quilting.
