If you REALLY want a copy; this one is US$650.  I find maybe one copy
every two years and this is the cheapest I've seen it quite some time.

Is it out of copyright? I've got one that if it's out of copyright, I'd scan
it off and email it. If it's still under c-right though, no can do.

It was originally published in 1981.  It most definitely is still in copyright. 
 It's out of print, not out of copyright.  I just wish they would reprint the 
entire series.

OK, I know it's a good book.

Is it really *that* good a book? Is there that much in there that isn't 
anywhere else?

[h-cost] Query on sewing machines

2009-10-06 Thread Don Eisele
So, the short story is that I'm getting a divorce, and her sewing
machines are not going to be accessible to me anymore (or her sewing
skills for that matter).

So, I am looking at buying a machine, and would like some opinions
on what I should get.

Currently, my wife has a nice Bernina Artista 180e, which does
about everything.  Basically, I haven't done anything more than 
be an assistant for a long time, so I'm not sure how much of the 
extra feature set I'm actually going to need.

A couple of options I see:

1) Go to walmart, buy something like the Brother CE-5000PRW, which
has every basic thing I think I'd need, and appears to do automatic
buttonholes.

 a) pros - cheap enough to buy another if it has problems
 b) cons - not as expandable with features, no local repair

2) Buy a Bernina

  a) pros - local repair, an attachment exists for everything
  b) cons - costly


My areas of interest change often, so I can't say I'll be only
doing one period of clothing.  

One thing the Bernina has is a piping foot to actually make 
piping out of whatever fabric.  I don't see such a beasty on
the Brother, but I just am not sure I am well enough informed
on that.

Anyway, I'd appreciate any advice everyone has, and please forgive
me if I'm acting too much like a newb... because I am one :)
