I think you pretty much nailed it for me. Bakelite has got you frustrated?

Hey - I got the first one on your list LOL!!

The only thing I'm in short supply of is time - like oldsewnsew. And way too many years before retirement LOL!

Uhhh.....yeah. Every time I open up a sewing machine that was shipped, out falls all these little, brown pieces and they aren't rat droppings. Someone ought to go into the Bakelite reproduction business.

I think we should suggest on a few 3D printing sites that they try using Bakelite as a material. Although it's thermal properties may preclude that....

Someone who knows how to put my 201 back together. It's been sitting on my workbench for a while now.

I'd add in a patron of the arts who'd fund all my machine & quilting needs. Where are the Medicis when you need them?
