    Congratulations, Dread!

    Now for the history of the sewing machine... perhaps it's the same reason soldiers learn the history of warfare. You'll understand where you are better if you know where your trade has come from?

    I would have never thought of that on my own. My brain just doesn't work that way.

    I figured there was a perfectly good logical reason for all of this.

    I can certainly understand the need for repair skills though. A dressmaker or a tailor could save a fortune on repair and servicing bills if they can maintain their own equipment!

    Or you could always moonlight as one of those sewing machine repair people that charge 150 dollars an hour for labour.
