Thank you folks for the comments on this thread! Yesterday I reintroduced a young'un to sewing and sent home one of my herd. Over and over I found myself saying how useful a forum like this is to someone with a dream and a good machine. My old Riccar 9700 will be making bow ties and costumes at the new home. Someone with a dream, a good head about them and skills will be selling high quality materials stitched with love.
What you do to support others? Priceless!!! Manny, love Ricky the Riccar and keep on sewing!!
