Greetings @whofilets from sunny California. This is a great forum, very chatty, full of semiprofessional enablers for all your enabling needs.
There's a small group of us from the US and Canada who can help with English to English translation.
Thank you! I just had a job interview today and I told my (English) landlady I worried I was too rambling and chatty and she laughed and said, "well, you're American. It's all right"
Maybe that's exactly what they're looking for!
Do you think there's any very specifically English sewing things that we don't do, or supplies we can't get, in the US? I guess with the worldwide shipping and internet shopping you can source anything, but I'm just curious. Thinking of what to send back to US sewing friends if I mail a gift.
