6. The sewing machine is an ok idea

I just cannot sit on the floor for any length of time (and get up too for that matter).

I could make the patches and try the fray check liquid on them to attach them to the sofa.

I'd do the whip stitching but I can see that this would involve hours of work and I don't have any help with this nightmare of a "project".

Isn't it sad that one cannot buy a decent sofa any longer?

This one is particularly nice as it has an incliner on the left side of it and if you flip back the cushions on the back, you have yourself a nice single bed that I've slept in many nights when the pain in my spine is so bad I can't sleep in the bed.

Thanks again!!
