just for the sake of going OLD SCHOOL...
have any of you ever successfully used hand spun thread in a sewing machine. or I should say Home spun, drop spindle Spinning wheel I don't care how how it was made, just the fact that a regular person outside of a factory made it. I mean I see a lot of people thinking Wow when the grid goes down I am gonna have a treadle. well I have heard tell that old weird or uneven thread gives dreadful results and I don't see Amazon or Hobby lobby being n alternative in a "grid down" situation. as all of the old machines I have been around seem to use "factory" thread I am thinking thread was a commodity before machines ?
