I sent my daughter money for Christmas and she bought a sewing machine she has needed for years. She is an avid sewer and has played with her old machine for years and it finally froze up and would go no further. One might say it kicked the bucket. She got her machine and asked if she could take it out of the box and use it. Of course the answer was YES! She had waited too long for this. Her husband wouldn't let her get one and he took the money I sent her last year. Divorced now. Yeah!!
