I am more concerned about the price increases of our everyday needs......food, gas, medicines, toiletries, etc. than I am about the price of sewing machines. While the prices of the big things are important, more so are the items we need every day. Have you priced milk, bread, eggs, poultry, meats, produce lately? What is the price of gas in your area? The prices are much higher than this time last year, and most of those products are produced in the USA.
I am afraid we are in for some rough times.
