I couldn't agree with you more. Your ...Bonnie,<br />I couldn't agree with you more. Your opinions are just that and you have a right to them. I agree that we are a "SUE Happy" country. I just testified in court for just that reason because someone thought that because the company involved was a big name company they should pay $500,000. for a broken pinky finger and pain and anguish. Not on my watch. I like to read your blog very much and enjoy hearing how you feel about things but I don't feel that I or anyone has a right to come at you like you did something wrong. You were just expressing your opinion that is all. Keep up the good work. I love the new sewing machine and think her name should be Emma.

It only does straight stitches, but, boy, what NICE straight stitches. She runs so smooth and quiet, I like to do my piecing on her. She's blue, and she is quite heavy; when I took her the first time to my local shop for servicing, they told me many machines came out of Japan at that time under different brand names. I just wish it had a few other stitches, but she is my favorite to sew on!!! I hope yours sews as beautifully as mine!<br />KateKatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09894726234996896531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-47787350991433845242012-03-27T10:19:00.225-04:002012-03-27T10:19:00.225-04:00BONNIE BONNIE BONNIE --- how true your words are a...BONNIE BONNIE BONNIE --- how true your words are about folks going sue-crazy!

I love looking at other's sewing rooms and I pick up ideas from them. I would love to know where this new beauty is going to be in your creative basement. Reading all of the posts with suggestions of names, I can't imagine how you will decide on one. All of these are great.<br /><br />Bonnie, keep up the good work. Your blog is entertaining, informative and keeps me excited about quilting, old sewing machines, and antique quilts.

it's always interesting to read you...Hi Bonnie,<br />it's always interesting to read your opinions - whatever they involve! I was wondering how busy all the fabric designers would be if we asked their permission every time we wanted to 'do something' with their fabric designs? They might never have time to design more fabric! I think lawyers are only successful at what they do because they are so good at intimidation - I imagine that they were all bullies (or bullied!) as children. All except my own incredibly tall, handsome attorney, of course, who can do no wrong! (well, yeah, he's related!) ...lol!<br /><br />Raspberry Ice was a very popular lipstick color (by Avon) at the same time this machine was popular - and it is a Gorgeous Morse! I cam imagine saying "Hellooooo Gorgeous!" to her every time I entered 'her room' ;-)TheaMinPAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03282746618220064503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-9614700513200983102012-03-27T09:09:25.501-04:002012-03-27T09:09:25.501-04:00Bonnie, here is the message from Todd Hensley from...Bonnie, here is the message from Todd Hensley from C&T about the whole episode. <br />http://www.stashbooksblog.com/2012/03/a-few-thoughts-about-copyright-and-quilts/<br /><br />Okay, now to get back to quilting.

I had read something from the publishers just before I read your blog .I wanted to throw up.I am a scrap quilter.I often buy fabric or aquire it years before I use it. This just boggles my mind. Isn't the goal of a designer to sell fabric and have people USE it? My initial reaction when I read the publishers statement was," I wonder who the designer was?I want to boycott them!!" Keep being true to yourself:) I think that is a great machine! What a FUN color! There are some great name suggestions on here.Good luck naming her!Machellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04738263152444124730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-21741464257378642112012-03-27T08:56:48.967-04:002012-03-27T08:56:48.967-04:00Ah...going with the theme of girl names that you h...Ah...going with the theme of girl names that you have for the 401A Singer from the 1950s of ...is it Sandra Dee or Marilyn?... this lush, hefty gal looks British to me so I offer the name of Elizabeth for the beauty of the Sixties...Liz Taylor. <br /><br />It is your machine so have fun naming.
