I didn't know my first "straight stitch" was now considered "vintage", but that makes sense since my nieces and nephews consider me to be vintage! I'd almost like it back (it was a very sturdy Singer) but it didn't do buttonholes. Anyway, one of my nieces has it now, and it's still going strong, and she's still using it. It's many decades old, but they sure knew how to build them back then. I'm having fun with my new stitches. Still don't know what I'm going to do with them all, but it will be fun trying them out.
Thanks for writing! MacThayer

have lot of fun with your new multi stitch. Isn't technology fun and annoying at the same time. If you have not, I suggest you buy a workbook for your new machine, it will be invaluable.

I was absolutely gobsmacked when I walked into the sewing machine store and saw all of the new machines with all of the stitches. I had no idea it had come to this, honestly. A computerized sewing machine? It never occurred to me. I was going to go for a machine with far fewer stitches, but my husband is a computer techie, and he was with me, and was absolutely enthralled with the fancy machines. He kept pushing me toward the fancier machines. That's how I ended up with one with so many stitches. He kept saying: "If you don't get one now, you'll start sewing and wish you had more variety in your stitches." He's probably right, I don't know. Am just getting started "playing" with the stitches. It sure is fun!

I'm probably boring you by now! I do tend to get carried away when talking about sewing/quilting. Let's do meet. I have to go out of town next week, so perhaps when I get back, so say early August?
