Sometimes I miss not having friends or family to share my love of sewing with, but a guess the upside is no one will be asking to borrow my sewing machines. With these new computerized machines, you don't just sit down and start sewing without knowing how to use that particular machine. It does amaze me that so many of you have had people who either broke or didn't return your machine. You just never know about someone until you loan something to them.
