I am sorry to hear that you have had such a hard time with your health the past two years and hope that from now on you only improve. Can't believe that your son is almost old enough to drive. How fast time seems to pass. Take care of yourself first so that you can then take care of him.

I am so sorry for what you've had to endure -- damned cancer!! -- but glad to know that you are in good spirits. How is your not-so-little Boy?

She talks so fast that for years I thought she was saying, "Minute Minder" instead of "Minute Miter." I literally couldn't figure out what that Minute Minder thingy was for. HAH! I finally found a different YouTube video by a different Martelli rep that walks you through the purpose of each tool. Slowly. Once I understood the function of each tool, the system started to make sense. After two years of of trying to figure out how to use things, coupled with a whole lot of DVD re-winding, I now use the Martelli system. My bindings are vastly improved. But you have to be a stubborn soul (ahem) who hates wasting money to get to this point.GuitarGrammanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18538999.post-7487523507741549032018-09-07T21:18:05.631-04:002018-09-07T21:18:05.631-04:00It sounds like to are very handy and crafty.

I am just learning how to make the toe up socks using 2 sets of circular needles. It is interesting. I lost my pattern and now have to find a pattern so I know how to do the heels. <br />Happy knittingQuilting Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06273349428212488143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18538999.post-88637775284066240512018-09-07T21:13:41.780-04:002018-09-07T21:13:41.780-04:00Hi I love your description of Mabel. She is a new...Hi I love your description of Mabel. She is a newer version of the Elna Supermatic I inherited from my mother. Mine is Green. I have to say it is still running and works well. I do have a problem with the Supermatic head that controls the cams for the stitches. It doesn't work well. And it is expensive to find parts for. Luckily a friend of mine had her mother's old Elna that is almost the same year as mine. I am hoping that the Supermatic head on it will work on Mom's machine. Just so you know how tough your machine is my mother was a qualified and certified tailor and seamstress. She sewed custom made suits for men as well as lots of dressmaking for women clients. She used her Elna for all the years she was sewing for clients as well as sewing for all 4 of her kids. So it was a real workhorse for her. It is still sewing along quite nicely. I am doing a rag time quilt with blue jeans for my daughter. It hasn't missed a stitch yet. So happy sewing for many years. Mabel will treat you well if you treat her well.

I guess I got off cheap because I got it at wholesale. Sad thing is, I'm now stuck with it. There are no instructions in the packaging that show you how to use the thing and I don't have time to watch a video. It also seems like you need to purchase other things to go with it. So thank you for posting this. I will not be carrying this in my shop.
