I agree with momto5! I can sew like he-- but when my machines starts acting up I know it is time for me to rest and do something else for a while. I find that the old girls seem to act up to let me know that I have made a mistake and I just look for it to correct and off we go again! What is it they say about inaminate things not having any mind of their own? Ask anyone with a computerize machine! lol
