Vintage sewing machine repair help requested

[KRonn]

I only briefly used a sewing machine, trying to learn, but haven't touched it in a while. I should get back on it, learn to use it as they can be really useful.

Hi KRonn.

[CountDeMoney]

Good news! The doo-hickey that I broke is available online for only $10.80!

Machine should be up and running by next week. 

Good.  Now embroider Timmay's scrotum to his forehead, please.

Hi KRonn.

Howdy.

KRonn!!

And if you ever want lessons, I kind of know what I'm doing. Come for a visit. We'll make a pillow... or a suit. Your choice.

Seeing your thread I'm thinking that I should break out my sewing machine and learning, getting a how to book or info off the internet. As for a visit and lessons, I think you're in the mid west? I'm in Massachusetts.

Also, I remember a couple of years ago you having a tough time with allergies being so near huge cornfields. At the time I was growing corn in my backyard garden - corn is so much better when straight out of the garden and hasn't been sitting in transit or the store. Just picked retains its sweetness and taste a lot better.    But I gave up on growing corn after a few years since once the squirrels found out about corn it became too much a hassle to keep them out.

Hey, wasn't there some lapsed catholic there too?

A few years back there was a run on sewing machines in Saudi Arabia.  Apparently, the locals believe the sewing machines contained something called "Red Mercury", which could be used to summon spirits, build nuclear bombs, and find buried treasure.  You should totally check your machine for this magical material.

I've reached out to him several times to get together for drinks. He canceled each time. Now I'm leaving it up to him to contact me.

sbr, up for lunch or drinks downtown sometime? I work at the Moda building and have no car.
