Welcome Kik, you seem to remind me of my Uncle. Though he never sewn anything, he did love to venture into different things, master them, and then move on. He had so many talents, and still does. His newest is baking breads. I too have one of those minds that talks to itself, answers itself, and sometimes seems to non stop thinking "what if" I know there are several people on this board, under the vintage machine group which I'm sure you've already spotted, that can share all there experiences and stories too. Have fun in your new endeavors
