This background I'm working on now is 8 feet long, and it takes me two minutes to sew each row.
This background I'm working on now is 8 feet long, and it takes me two minutes to sew each row. At that pace it will take me 6 hours to finish it. Of course, I can't stand that much mindlessness, so I take frequent breaks,such as this one, for a quick blog.
