    But, hon, you didn't present this as you asking for help in advance and them agreeing to it! This came across as you presuming on their help. That's why you got such negative feedback.

    This most definitely! It's supposed to be a visit, not a chore. I don't care how good a "friend" turned up at my place with this "plan" I'd show them the door,

    AH! Good point. I should mention that I hand quilt; I can see machine quilters may not find the LED strip helpful. What I do have is failing eyesight and the strip helps tremendously with that. ...

    That's why I'm insisting on the really low-end Kai's. I've finally settled on the 5210's, which are $17.99. Sharpening is $20+/-. So instead of sharpening, I'll toss 'em and buy new, 'though after...
