Photogenic memory

Sep 08, 2010 3 Replies

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.
