LAF2019, Thanks for the encouragement. That is basically what I will be doing. But, as I said, the six spools of thread I do have, are anywhere from 5 to 40 years old; which one is older I haven't a clue. But I will get a few spools of newer thread, lots of bobbins, and a couple types of needles. That should get me going. Of course, I need to shop the local thrift shops for fabric, and hope they aren't charging an arm and a leg, which I have found does happen
