Hi, Kevin. Hi, Kevin. Hi, Kevin. Not sure why but there are three "Hi, Shirley"s posted...You SURE are friendly.

Last one came through...Thank you so much! I so appreciate all the input. I've long admired your work. Now I "admire" your advice too!

Y'know, this stupid tab key doesn't do the same thing that it does with all my other typing applications!!! Sometimes I think my fingers are faster than my brain! And thanks so much for the kind words!

Happy Sewing!!

That happens after the tenth or eleventh cup of coffee. The 4618 is a great machine especially for the decorative work on boottops or belts, it has no reverse but you can spin on a nat's tes eyeball to lock off. A little (or a lot) of practice with that thing and you can make some really pretty stuff. It will actually sew stuff together too. It really seems to like 46 thread, which is good, you can get 46 in a whole bunch of colors. And if you need to repair a handbag, sometimes only a post or a patcher will work (without deconstructing the bag).

Dear Art, Steve and Kevin,

Okay, I pulled the trigger and ordered a Pfaff clone from Ralph's in Denver. They are the closest dealer and my best hope if I ever need service. And maybe I can find a good, used, Artisan 4618 sooner than later. I'll pick it up on the way home from a week on a sailboat. It's a brave new world.

Thanks again for making all the time to help. I truly appreciate the effort and the wisdom offered. I'll keep you posted.
