Grandma taught me in the late 1930s, and I don't remember her
ever having a sewing machine.
I just found myself another tool, hunting through Michael's for a
Brother bobbin that they don't carry.
I discovered a neat little machine for about 30 dollars, a bobbin
winding help. Now I won't have to stop my sewing and take out
that almost impossible to thread needle thread and make up several
bobbins in the color I'm working on now.
Neat machine!
