This is slightly off topic but related to the purchase of a sewing machine. The sales person was surprised that I wanted to "test drive" the machine which btw was without bobbin. I found a bobbin and was getting ready to thread the machine when he sort of pushed me away (excuse me Mam but that's my job). I still see him yanking out about 2 feet of bobbin thread. He licked the end and then he tried to PUSH the thread up the feed dogs. Externally I was watching with great interest. Internally I was howling. Even DH remembers that one.
When I took my Pfaff into where I bought it for it's 10,000 mile check up I was given a long lecture about the thread I was using and the care I was taking of the machine. They then said that I was not worthy of such a machine. I let them do the check up since it was free that time, but have since found a new shop to work on it.
2 feet of bobbin thread!!! Don't they realize that thread is a valuable thing?
