I have one of my featherweights at the store we own, I sew when I am not too busy. I have ayoung man that works for us, and today when he came in, he was watching me sew for a couple of minutes when he asked me a question I just had to share. He wanted to know if, when you use the reverse on the machine, did it unsew? We decided someone could make a lot of money if they could figure out how to make that happen. ROFLMAO

What, and put the ripper manufacturers out of business?????

Jan in VA 01-02-2011 04:44 PM

Now that's a good one!

Sort of reminds me of the lady taking a computer usage class who was told to "run her mouse over the screen", and she did. Unfortunately, it only works when it's the CURSOR of the mouse one is running over the screen, not the whole mouse contraption!
And why is it called a mouse anyway?????

Great question ... sure would save me a lot of time if it would.

Izaquilter 01-02-2011 04:54 PM

only from a man would a question like that come! BUT my mother had a treadle sewing machine. She swore it only sewed backwards....Well it wasn't until many moons later when I got a treadle machine that I found out that it depends on which way you start the machine with the treadle...it will sew backwards but you have to start it that way for it to sew backwards!

maine ladybug 01-02-2011 05:46 PM

You are right about that!! Someone would be rich if they could find a way to make that work. Unsew!! LOL!

sewgull 01-02-2011 05:47 PM

There are times I would like to "unsew" a seam.

brookemarie19 01-02-2011 05:51 PM

lclang 01-02-2011 05:51 PM

My brother is the administrator of the computer network for a city. One day he got a call from an employee asking for help. Apparently one of the instructions on the computer screen directed her to "Press any key to continue". She called my brother because she couldn't find the "any" key on the keyboard!

I believe its called a mouse because its kind of shaped like a mouse and the wire comes out one end almost like a tail.

I reallly laughed when I read this!! Thanks for the bright spot in my day and it's only 7 a.m. Too funny....still laughing!!

quilt3311 01-03-2011 05:02 AM

Oh thats so funny, but I imagine to him, if you put a car in reverse it goes backward, so why not unsew in reverse. OH if someone could make that work they would be billionaires. LOL

GammaLou 01-03-2011 05:52 AM

Encountered that word REVERSE SEW the other day, when a canadian friend asked if I would REVERSE SEW her quilt block, while I was sewing on my machine) I wondered why she wanted me to sew the seam in reverse, come to find out she wanted me to RIP it out for her.
