Hi Vicki,
 RH> I bought a bunch of different colors last year when
 VO>    If I ever see a deal on them, I'd proably do the same thing.
Are you on the mailing list for the store flyers?  Even though I live a
ways away from the store, I get the flyer.  That way I know when things
are going on sale; sometimes I've given money and a list to someone
going to Tucson and asked that they grab someting on sale for me.
 RH> Remember the old Alka-Seltzer ads, "try it, you'll
 RH> like it?"  Same thing
 VO>    I'm hoping to.  Just gotta get to the store.
I know the feeling. We're hoping to get the rest of the wedding stuff
(for the dresses and the veil) next week.
 RH> Most likely.  Do you have your machine in a permanent set up?  If so,
 VO>    Yes, I do.  Kind of.  Not sure, but probably will keep it the way
 VO> it is. I've got a crafting room all to myself, and still haven't
 VO> really organized it. (It's been 3 years now)
Well, get organised! (G)  With some things, organisation is the only way
I can keep track of what I'm doing.  But, as long as you are in a
permanent location, I suppose you can putz around till you feel ready.
 RH> Shelley Rodgers posted several years ago about how she just screwed a
 RH> cup hook into the wall and ran the thread thru that as an adapter.
 VO>     I thought about that, but someone else told me that it didn't work
 VO> that well.
All right, I wasn't aware of that.  I sort of tuned out that one since I
had the adapter long before I got on Fido.
 VO>      That's hopefully my next big purchase..a serger.  But I still
 VO> can't quite justify the cost to myself.
If you do lots of sewing, it is worth the cost.  I wasn't sure I could
justify it at first but sure am glad I have it now!  I think I still
have the print out of what somebody wrote on here several years ago on
what to look for in a serger.
 RH> Yes, especially when you're "that" close to being done and run out of
 RH> thread on the bobbin.  I hate to wind a bobbin for 6" of sewing.
 VO>     What?  Were you watching me?  That's exactly what happened to me,
 VO> and boy was I frustrated.
It comes from being a sewer also.  If you have a bobbin of a color that
is close, you can go ahead and use that.  I also keep a bobbin of the
invisible nylon thread on hand for projects when I don't want to wind a
bobbin of the color I'm using--if it's an odd color and I'm not using
too much of it, that's a very handy thing to keep in mind.
Catch you later,
Ruth
