Well, you probably won't be disoriented wrt crochet.

However, I'm reliably informed that sewing patterns
aren't as good as they were once. Whether those
computer patterns in the ads are any good, I
do not know. So caution is advised in this area.

Machines of course are always bigger and better,
but I still have the some old one I've had since
1985.


Thanks for the advice. I am still using my old Brother sewing machine.
