Bidding at any hour of the day that ends up with a score like that makes it all worthwhile :) You know, of course, that I'm referring to the Feather :).<br /><br />Oh, as far as what to do with an old oil can?

One made with horsehair that stinks, one without horsehair that doesn't stink. One case was made in the USA and one in England. Of course I can't remember which is which, but it sounds like a reasonable answer as to why they stink or not.<br />By the way, I love your blog, it is very informative and funny. A good combination. <br />Sandy<br />src419@hotmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-44353781968322583752011-10-21T17:18:40.056-04:002011-10-21T17:18:40.056-04:00You know, Peter, all of this talk about singer fea...You know, Peter, all of this talk about singer featherweights has me thinking that I really should start looking out for one. It's all your fault. That would bring my grand total of machines to 12 :)<br /><br />Have you ever used or seen a Morse machine? I was given a funky blue straight stitch only Morse machine circa 1956. It is MEGA heavy and I think would be great for jeans, leather and the like.
