Another First by [email protected]
Dear Diary, Today I actually toured TSWLTH, a full frontal ten-finger digital assault, and came out unscathed, wallet intact, having purchased Nothing. Zip. Zero. Nada. This is a ground-shaking event, so I wanted to record the happening for posterity. I felt everything in the store--well, not...

Should I have bought it? by FtForger
Its undoubtedly gone...but I the other day I saw an old Mongomery Ward sewing machine. The old heavy metal body. It MAY have been a converted treadle machine. There was a thigh bar for adjusting the speed, and it was one of the ones built into a cabinet and I believe the machine lowered into the...

Well, so much for working on the quilt by Melinda Meahan - take out TRASH to reply
I won't be able to start working on it until the fall. DD will be home for the summer, as the place she worked for before leaving for college would like her back for the summer and she'll make more money working fewer hours (like, the hourly rate at her old job is twice as much as it is at school)...

OT.....NOT an Urban Legend by Valkyrie
This is a heads-up to those friends who haven't experienced it yet, and an explanation to those friends and family who have. Most of you have read the scare-mail about the person whose kidneys were stolen while he was passed out. Well, read on. While the kidney story was an urban legend, this...

Quick jeans alteration by [email protected]
Thought I'd share an alteration I often make to my jeans. My figure is a bit thick around the middle; combine that with short-waisted, and jeans always stop just shy of a good fit, being a bit snug on the high hip and tight through the waist. Add a nice lunch, and breathing becomes problematic. One...

Really basic question.... by [email protected]

White 1934d serger question by S
Hello! In skimming through the posts here, I find discussion about quite a few different serger models, but I don't see anything about White sergers. Is this a sign that I shouldn't buy one? *smile* I was looking at the 1934d, which appears to be relatively easy to thread. I'm still in the...
