Anybody Else Collect Sewing Machines?
Tension is a process of trial and error. It very much depends on the type of fabric you're sewing. Foot-tension has to be LIGHT for light fabrics, but tighter for thicker fabrics (otherwise the needle yanks the fabric up with it as it sews along). Thread-tension is something you have to play...- Shangas

Frustrated! Addressing people by their title, and other 'old-fashioned' sayings
LOL!! P.Planes, I shouldn't worry about it. It's nothing to be worried about, or ashamed of. I would ignore the others. It is their loss that they weren't raised with your sense of decorum and politeness.- Shangas

Did Great Grandpa have a moustache (golden era pics in thread)
Well there you might have a historical precedent for it, then :) Some people have the ability to grow really thick moustaches, some people can't. Some grow them faster than others. It's either shadows, or a really thin/small, trimmed moustache. I think the last photo shows a moustache...- Shangas

Did Great Grandpa have a moustache (golden era pics in thread)
I don't think so. If there is, it would be a very thin one. I know it was common for men during the Victorian era to wear moustaches, purely because the only way you could shave yourself was with a cutthroat, and some guys didn't want to bother with trying to shave that part of their faces...- Shangas

What's for Dinner?
I've eaten black pudding on occasion. it's not bad. I mean, it's edible and even tasty if you like that stuff. But I fail to see what makes it so famous. Tonight's dinner...if you can call it dinner...was a meatball and mustard sandwich. ...yeah, I was using up leftovers.- Shangas

Hahaha!! My sewing-skills are beginner-level. Intermediate at best. I'm sure if you left it to my grandmother, she would've sewed you up a whole suit! She was a real wizard with a Singer. She could make clothing out of anything. My latest modest sewing-project can be found in the Attire &...- Shangas

If I can't get them sharpened, then I'll send them out. But I'm happy with the results. They cut the whole length of the blades, but they are a bit unreliable. So they do cut, but a professional sharpener could probably get them to cut more reliably.- Shangas

The shears are working pretty well. They're absolutely massive. 11-1/2 inches long, with a cutting-edge of 6-1/2 inches. Solid chromed steel. There's only one mark on them. It says: "BONUM", and it's inside an oval. There is a place in town that sharpens knives. $5.00 for a small pair of...- Shangas

Hahahaha!! My thrift-shop scores for yesterday: 1. Glass dip-pen. $1.00. 2. Tailor's point-shears. Steel. $0.00. I'm currently trying to sharpen the shears at home. So far, so good. I can get them to cut all the way through a single layer of fabric, but not two or three layers...- Shangas
