Jessa sat, thumbing idly at the thread while she waited for the next set of instructions, her mind coming back to the present only at the sound of Nat's voice breaking the silence. "Hmm?" How did she do what....? "Oh! This?" The Ravenclaw gave a small shrug before leaning over to point at Nat's machine and explaining. While she spoke, she kept pointing back to her own machine as a point of cross referencing to make certain aspects come across a little more easily. "Muggle grandmother." She explained as an afterthought, as if she needed justification for this type of knowledge.

The Ravenclaw straightened in her seat again.....mostly.....listening to the next set of instructions. This weren't exactly rocket science....or maybe it should have been and she'd simply been over exposed.

Reaching out, Jessa used one hand to hold the end of the thread--the one that was coming from the bobbin. That done, the other reached across to flip the power switch from its off position to the on one. Nothing difficult there either. Her right leg she pressed against the foot pedal, being sure not to release the thread. Seconds letter the threading had begun. The girl may have stopped once she was sure it was working and had been done right but the Professor's advice to get a good bit on there kept her foot in place.

How much was enough?

It would help if they knew what they were making. This could already have been too much. On the other hand, it may still not have been enough.

Since Jessa was helping her, Natalie followed her example and her pointing and put things together as she did so. "Oooohh," she replied to the muggle grandmother thing. "That makes sense." Her own grandmother was a witch and was very good at making clothes and things magically.

Natalie completed the steps thanks to Jessa and looked up just in time for the professor to continue with the instructions. She grabbed the thread, as she demonstrated, and then turned the power switch on... That was easy enough. Looking under her desk, Natalie put her foot on the pedal, err.. a little too hard and let out a squeak of surprise as the machine started rapidly spitting out thread. Quickly, she moved her foot off the pedal and looked at Jessa to see how she was doing.

Then she gently put her foot on the pedal and watched it release some more thread more slowly. However, she had no idea how much to produce because she had no idea what they were going to make so... she just kept going.
