My favorite electric machines are Singer Featherweights -- they look like toys but sew beautifully. Most of my others are treadles or handcranks.

That's a good idea: these giftbags. I've a whole cupboard with cloths.
Collecting sewing machines: all of a sudden I have this image of rows of shelves with hundreds of sewing machine on it and a proud, beaming Betty in front.

I have a Swiss Bernina sewing machine. I used to make large quantities of things, like duvet-covers X 12, quilted pot- holders x 24 or curtains for the whole house. Like you, I do 'survival sewing' now, but I'm thinking of ways to use all that cloth I collected in my cupboard.

In Italian we say "In bocca al lupo" (in the mouth of the wolf) and the recipient is better to answer "Crepi" (bust him).

There is an other wish that involves whales and other body parts, but I'll keep that one for future occasions.

So, IN BOCCA AL LUPO

Is everyone in Chicago that helpful? I mean sheesh, the guy was only asking what time it was.

Yeah, I was kind of getting worried too ... 'Zomeruur' (summerhour) starts on March 27th in Belgium. Two more weeks to go

As long as were mentioning Ben Franklin this is a nice episode. The Franklin discussion starts about at the halfway mark.
