Beverly Yes, there was a section on the type of sewing you do. I got the email earlier about the survey and took it right away. That first bit (where you have to rank each item) threw me for a bit 0Irene |

Beverly Are there different surveys or something? I took it and I was disappointed because it was so limited. It asked when I last bought a sewing machine and what kind of other crafts I did and I listed quilting. I don't remember a question about what kind of sewing I did, or what I wanted to see in the store. The survey was awfully short and mostly was demographic information. I was hoping for a comments section. Did I miss a page somehow? Iris |

The length of the survey hinges on your answer to the first question - if you haven't bought a sewing machine in the last year, they don't much care what you do with it. My last machine was purchased two years ago, so I answered that I had not bought a machine in the last year. The rest of the survey in that case was very short. They just asked what other crafts you do and the demographic information. I clicked on the survey link in Beverly's post once, again said I hadn't bought a machine in the past year and again got the abbreviated survey I had the first time. I had a hunch that first question might be the key, but the website wouldn't let me take the survey again on the upstairs computer, so I came downstairs and clicked the link from my laptop. This time I (shame on me!) said I HAD bought a machine in the last year. This time I got the full monty of questions about what and how much you sew, etc. So there's the answer to the mystery - not everyone gets the same survey, and it's mostly designed to find out what sells machines (at least in the last year!)

TSWLTH is asking for opinions about REAL sewing from real
people who REALLY sew!

Iris- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I assume this survey is only relevant for USA , Here [ In Israel ] things are a bit different, i usually find mt threads etc in a shop in my neighbourhood , but in order to find cloth and `gadgets ` i have to go to mid town [ where i am any way twice a week for other reasons] ,, Since not everything published in mags is available here i just have a habit of touring the vaeious shops from time to time, and find new `things` !!! I am sewing mostly skirts , shirts and dresses for me , i do a lot of recycling my own clothes , I also sew part of my Fiberart. mirjam www.fibersiv.israel.net |

Beverly Thanks to the tips here, I put that I had bought a machine in the past two years -- I did, but it was a very old machine - and got the extra questions. I have a feeling that I may have skewed the results a bit - listing all the brands of machines that I have..... hehehe -- Joanne stitches @ singerlady.reno.nv.us.earth.milky-way.com http://members.tripod.com/~bernardschopen/ |

The length of the survey hinges on your answer to the first question - if you haven't bought a sewing machine in the last year, they don't much care what you do with it. Sewing machines are *durable goods*. So those immensely desirous of seeing a lot of survey questions must aver a recent purchase of same. So there's the answer to the mystery - not everyone gets the same survey, and it's mostly designed to find out what sells machines (at least in the last year!) Maybe I'll skip it altogether bc us lynxers get a big blank screen with "Zoomerang" in one upper corner. Am not going to bother forwarding info on this to the former staff of TSWLTH of my acquintance. |
