For those of you that stitch while riding in the car or on the train, how do you cope with the bumps and the motion? Do you have any tips for others?
I don’t really have tips for other stitchers stitching while traveling. I often suffer from motion sickness, so for the most part stitching while in a moving vehicle is something I can’t do. Oddly, I can stitch in a plane but for air travel I do take a anti-motion sickness pill. Perhaps I should take one for the car or train as well.

Do you do obligation or deadline-based stitching? Why or why not? If you do, do you tend to get in over your head and why?
I don’t really like the stress of obligation or deadline-based stitching. It makes my hobby much less enjoyable when I am stressing out about getting something finished. I am a very slow stitcher. That said, I do stitch gifts for new babies, weddings, Christmas, end of the year gifts for teachers and have stitched squares for memorial quilts, but I always try to stitch something small or start months ahead of time to have plently of time to finish. I haven’t joined any round robins and have only stitched on small thing for an exchange.

Good Answer! I consider myself \’slow\’ when stitching. I like to enjoy what I\’m doing & having to hurry or meet a pesky deadline takes the joy out of what I\’m doing. The exception are gifts for family members — those are nice b/c I think about the person I\’m going to surprise
I\’m not doing exchanges or RR right now. Just a few SAL\’s and really, the SALs do keep me time-wise – I enjoy stitching with others.
