hi again! Bev, I'm so happy to hear you talk to your machine too. I talk to mine here is a sample, "Guess what we're playing with today, Jean Luke". Luckly JL isn't a bald headed sewing machine like his namesake (Star Trek). And, "why didn't you tell me you ran out of bobbin thread, you twit." Course I might use some other word in place of twit.
Now how many have a TV in their sewing room? I have one with a DVD/VCR and I play movies as I cut and sew. Also a radio when I want tunes. Love the Jane Austen movies, just look at all the material they had to come up with back in those period days and no Joann's to go shopping at or Walmart.
Well, guess I'll go talk to Jean Luke until hubby gets back. Least ways, Jean Luke listens to me...LOL
