I just recently started making up 3 x 5 cards for the machines as well to keep with them telling which way the needle goes, which way to thread, what shank feet, needle type and thread type.
First, I love the distinction between the Herd and the Hoard!
Second, is there a resource that shows (or describes) the different shanks and what to call them? I found high shank, low shank, slant shank, but I want to know what to call the ones that go straight up vs. wrap around from the side vs. go around a vertical shaft horizontally vs. having a hole to insert the shaft and so on. I know I've seen people refer to the kind of shank in ways that made sense when I read them, but I don't remember the terms that were used to describe them. I've been searching online, but haven't hit the right search terms, I guess.
