I’d say that anything called the husqyvarna emerald should be immediately purchased. It sounds a little like a drink you’d order in Norway, so I’d check the compartments and see if there’s a tiny bottle of that inside the machine. At the very least, it should help you thread the needle, or at least make it so you don’t care when the thread won’t cooperate.

My own sewing machine is from Sears, and it works beautifully. Of course, I mainly use it for sewing straight lines, but it has a lot of fancy stitches that could be used, should one wish.

Good luck in your search!

I’ll ask my brother-in-law’s wife (what does that make her, exactly?!) for a recommendation as is this way, way, way beyond me but right up her alley!

“In a sheet of paper is contained the infinite”

I absolutely love this – it so reflects the power of literature, of all the magic and mystery that a book can contain.

Thanks, Di. That’s what makes the poem so wonderful.

Oh, the Norton Anthology. I can see mine from where I sit; it’s been a while between poems, I must pull it out and have us reacquainted. A lovely meme, Lilian, and a truly great line by May Sarton! I know just what she means!
