And this is for the daughter that sews, and wants the machine, so I figure it is a plan to let my mom be a part of the process in a way. We still miss my mom terribly, but the world isn't stopping for us to lay down and cry, so the beading and dresswork goes on. Actually, my mom is laughing her head off, because I loathe, and that is an understatement, hand sewing, and this bodice is pretty beady. I will post pics upon completion.

I am sorry to hear of the losses, and furbaby issues...hope all is better for everyone. Neat machines appearing, and lots of good info. I have been on a sewing machine diet and after we get the wedding behind us, I am going to rearrange my sewing space to see if I have room for anything else.
