Hi , Thanks for having me (after probation lol)
   I look forward to having a good chat with people about sewing machines rather than sewing as such !!
Not to say I don't appreciate the complexities and art of sewing itself    but its just that ,as a tinkerer and I suppose a minor engineer , I am fascinated by the way in which they work,and how they all have differed /developed over the years !
  Always nice to have a comfy chair to reside in to , so hopefully thats how I will feel when in here !!
  Thanks again , Anto :thumbsup:
