I don't do well with typos and spelling errors. Most people who buy machines are smarter than that. A lot of guys buy machines. I think their wives don't want them touching theirs. The cost for cleaning a computerized machines is more than the cost of one of my used machines. Most of the time people just sew straight stitches. Why not just a machine that does straight stitches? Some people buy the machines to save wear and tear on their computerized machines.
I think one REAL problem is kids. They are scared to DO anything - they aren't taught anything. Most of them don't even have library cards. When I had machines around kids in September most were afraid of the needle.
Here are some pics of kids afraid of needles:

The second one was pretty funny. My DGD had to do the needle end because he was that afraid of the needle but he wanted to sew.
I wonder at what age they get past the fear - or do they never?
