We have an embroidery shop and every time someone sees the machines running at a show or the fair, we hear : 1) I need a machine that sews by itself. 2) I have some pants that need hemmed. 3) That's cheating! 4) I need just a little alteration done. Of course the answer to most of those is: these are embroidery machines. They don't sew. The answer to #3 is: Did you ride a horse here today? That's called progress and so is this! LOL
