So it is safe to talk about her? Whew. Good. I saw a post that talked about her city and not long after that she went silent. I was afraid even to ask because that looked like the pattern of avoiding a stalker.

Steve tell Cathy we miss her and her knowledge.
She has helped so many on this forum with their machines, I being one of them.

That is not something that I have heard about happening....

EDIT: I sent Cathy a message suggesting that she read this thread.

Good idea, Steve, before we build up a murder mystery.

yeah, because stories are more fun without facts... that way you have room to make the story more interesting

I love that! Walter turning hand wheels....keeping mitts off tension dials! I just had that talk with my Zoe...told her that "Nana will be very mad is she touches any dials or buttons or stuff on my sewing machines." She asked " Will I get a swish on the bum?" I almost laughed...but with a 2 1/2 year old you never know what will come out of the mouth...told her that she might get one.
