Darn, I wish I'd know about your most recent aspiration! I have a crap-tastick, cheapy sewing machine collecting dust in my basement (heck, I've never even cracked open the box!) that I would have gladly passed along.

I got the contraption a few years ago for Christmas when my M-in-L, who thought I should make my own curtains & throw pillows. One trip to the fabric store and I ran out of the store & down the street screaming in terror, like Tippi Hedren in "The Birds".

I so admire fabric crafty gals, but I do not come from such stock, we are procurers not creators.

But every gals deserves their own personal Tim Gunn!
