Re: [h-cost] Has anyone tried these machines?
Hi, I work for a Babylock dealer. No one has so much as touched the Destiny yet. It's that new. The GM for my store will be going to the Babylock convention at the end of this month, and she'll get to try one out then. They won't be shipping any machines out until September. Until then, all we have to go on is the video that Babylock posted on their website. It's a beautiful top of the line machine, with a price to match. I think the Brother Dream Machine is the same type of deal, but I could be wrong since we aren't a Brother dealer. Your best bet is to talk to your local dealer. They may try to talk you into putting money down to reserve a machine. Nothing wrong with that, but it should be fully refundable if you decide against the purchase.

I haven't had an opportunity to check them out in person yet, so I wish to be going in with as much information as possible. So if you have one or tried it out, please share your thoughts, please.

Re: [h-cost] peasant clothing in the 16th-17th century
My favorite lower class/ peasant costuming website is www.tudorgroup.co.uk . Lots of photos of the group in their handmade costumes. Really beautiful. -Katie On 9/7/07, Zuzana Kraemerova [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Does anyone of you know any good sources (books or websites) on peasant and lower-class clothing in the 16th or 17th century? All books say lots and lots about court and aristocratic dresses, but no one obviously cares about peasants. The only thing I could find seems to be completely unavailable: Well-Dressed Peasant: 16th Century Flemish Workingwomen's Dress – Temp out of stock Drea Leed. Author describes her research into various aspects of the garments, then details construction, including very simple patterns. Tr pb, saddle-stapled, 76pp. Color covers inside covers, 4 color interior plates, numerous b/w photos of period art showing working women's garments.
