Thanks for the advice. I once went to the piecing thread when it was too early. There was a wealth of information and many people who knew how to work on an R. The one common element they all hand which my stich is missing was they both wanted to work on the M.
My W doesn't want to work on the R. She wants the benefits of a M, but doesn't want to invest her time in a R. Emotionally I don't think she's capable of working on a M.
