Times Have Changed



Wired magazine recently showed the state-of-the-art in sewing machines, quipping, "These smart models stomp all over that mechanical monster your Mom once used to cobble together your Chewbacca Halloween costume. They come with built-in touchscreen computers, programmable embroidery patterns, USB slots, and direct-to-PC compatibility."

I thought: Hmmmm.... One might think about picking one up for the house. I don't sew, but maybe a little something to do repairs on fine garments, or perhaps to start a quilting project over the winter.

Yes, one might think that, except for the fact that they are over 7 thousand dollars!
