One more thing I feel the need to add...
Having passed the 40 year mark almost two years ago, I've come to rely on my "cheater" glasses to see up close.. especially when "unsewing" or doing hand work.
I never understood why people had to have several pairs of these glasses around the house, in purses, the car..etc...
Now I do.
....and sometimes I still can't find a pair!

No matter how many pairs of scissors you have you can never find a pair when you need them.
The bobbin thread always runs out two inches from the end of the seam.
Haste makes waste but Murphy's law is part of that equation.
Great thread!

I've also learned that said hot iron also loves to set and press your fingers from time to time... especially when you least expect it.
