I thought it looked "inkwell-ish" but had no conception of why that'd be in a sewing cabinet. Right now it's doing a great job keeping my sewing machine oil from tipping over in the drawer, LOL.

I suppose that would make sense! At first I thought it said "sanfor
dized" and then I had the theme song from that old show "Sanford & Son" stuck in my head all afternoon, LOL. Funny how such a standard, day-to-day term would fall out of usage like that; just goes to show how "alive" the English language is, I guess!
I just need to figure out how to get that clutch un-stuck now. I guess I can just let it wind bobbins as I sew but I'd like to get it working right if I can. There is a screw on the clutch cap/knob, I could try taking it apart but since I have ZERO clue what I'm doing and not a lot of experience in this sort of thing I'm a little terrified of that idea, LOL.
