Random musings and general banter.

Sally is saying you could repair your trousers with it

There's no point in buying one of these mini machines if you want to repair things or make things at home. You're better off shopping around for a full-size basic model, and having a look in somewhere like Hobbycraft, for example. Something like a Brother machine is good (I've been using mine for six years now, cost me £78.00). The basic model now costs about £89.00 and the reviews are very good. Suitable for a beginner who wants a sturdy machine that's not overly expensive but copes with a range of fabrics and is simple to set up and use. The mini machines are usually not strongly built, a complete waste of money, and can't cope with a range of different fabric thicknesses.

Is that the same machine that Sally is selling now, PRIMA brand with purple knobs for £19.99?
It's pretty cheap but I can't think it would be much good for anything but basic occasional use.
She's saying buy it today because they won't have it in until next September.
Yeah sure, I'm in!

Just an excuse to get the shorts on again

Had the sleep clinic contact me, I’ve been told to relax from about 9pm, can’t be doing with the excitement

Had a quick shufti online for reviews on mini sewing machine. Looks as if many have been put in the bin as not up to the job.

it doesn’t even thread up the same as proper sewing machines and looks as if you have to wind a bobbin for the topthread. As HistoryMistery says you’re better buying a basic Brother machine from Hobbycraft, which has a variety of stitches.

You should be pretty safe with IW then, no excitement on there unless you stay up for Fun At One with Torchy!

What does he do at 1am then

 

[EmmaP]

I’m thinking more Pedro in his shorts

 

[Niwa]

What does he do at 1am then

He calls it Fun at One but actually no fun or excitement really.
I like his auctions though, so much better than the other people's sales presentations.

I hate it when he does the stepper I'd much rather be seeing him when he's vibrating.

 

[cheeky chappie]

I thought that this is a quilt makers iron? They sold them as such on C&C. have a similar one in my sewing room that I use for pressing seams and adhesive interfacings whilst dressmaking. Big iron used to actually ironing finished garments.

To be fair (to myself) I just grabbed an image off Google of a small iron

So do others on here

Whatever AK might feel about MM's attitude to him on screen, it doesn't look good when broadcast, and in my opinion Masons is using Knowles good nature to have a dig when he can.

Mason would crumble if he came up against a real version of what he likes to portray on screen.

EmmaP, don’t know if you got a weighted blanket or not but if not you simply must.They work wonders.Hope you get some sleep.

The thing they're flogging on IW is along these lines, note it's classed as a starter model for kids!

Wow you must be posh to have a sewing room, I wonder are you like me and have a drawing room just for artwork?

(Homage to the great TV series Bottom and the late great Rick Mayall)

Other types of personal vibrating equipment are avaliable!

Like the Terminator being doused in liquid oxygen?
He could make a start by trimming the mess that exists on his face, although that would be cruel to all the occupants.
