- Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – 11/23/07: Today’s question is being brought to you by our very own mystery poster  Do you know how to use a sewing machine? Yes.  My curiosity for mechanical marvels goes back to a very young age.  I was probably 4 or 5 when my mom let me practice sewing scrap pieces with her sewing machine. Tony Oh, and yes I have my own sewing machine now.  It’s a useful antique.   I only do repairs, I never really make anything. I have an antique New Home sewing machine that was my grandmothers. Unfortunately New Home went out of business long ago and their are some parts missing. I have a line on a guy that finds these old machines and scavenges parts off of them and sells them, I’ve just never gotten around to (and financially solvent enough) to try to repair it. If it worked, I’d have to try to use it, that is just my nature.

At the moment I can’t recall the brand I have.  It came from a chain of large stores called "Hess" or "Hess Brothers" based near where I grew up.  Evidently they bought enough to have their name on it instead of the real manufacturer.  I bought it cheap ($15?) at a yard sale and gave it a cleaning and lubrication, replaced the frayed electrical wires and it works well.  My Mom says it works better than hers! You better get those parts before they are extinct! Tony — The charter is available at: http://readystump.algebra.com/~asapm

It’s been years since I tried. My fraternal grandmother was a seamstress, and could sew anything from a napkin to a wedding dress. She tried one summer to help teach me how to sew. It was just too frustrating for me, it seemed like every seam had to be a do over (and over, and over). Might have been genetic. My mom did miserably in home ec during the sewing part of the class, and she tried so hard. The teacher finally took her aside and told her she’d give her a C if my mom would promise her that she would NOT take Home Ec the next year, LOL. No kidding. I wish I could use a sewing machine, but no, I definitely am not very good at that. I can sew on a button though. Lots to be said for that.

I’ve tried, wasn’t very good at it.  I’d like to learn because I want to make some curtains. kili — The charter is available at: http://readystump.algebra.com/~asapm

I used to (sorta kinda almost), but it’s been many years.  Home Economics was not my best class in school. Deirdre — The charter is available at: http://readystump.algebra.com/~asapm

I sure do!  In middle-school it was a required class. I flunked big at cooking but rocked at sewing!  I fixed a few things a girlfriend had and she really questioned my orientation. What? A straight guy can’t sew?  One can!!!!                  Rob             Rob — The charter is available at: http://readystump.algebra.com/~asapm
