LOVE MY NEW VIKING
 SEWING MACHINE!
     I really love my new Viking Opal sewing machine.  Here are just 3 amazing things it does:  1.  It tells you when the bobbin is empty.  2. You can wind a bobbin while the machine is still threaded. 3. It is the first machine I have ever owned that the needle threader actually works.
These 3 things alone save me so much time and frustration.   Thank you Viking for making a machine that we sewers have been longing for  for years.

How many people will take a hankie for happy tears??
     I sell vintage inspired handkerchiefs on my etsy site for wedding guests happy tears.  I have suggested to my customers that mostly it will be women that take one and that only about half of the women will do so.  What do you think?  Would you suggest a different  way of determining how many hankies to buy?

How many wedding colors do you have?
      Shown here are my latest hankies ( everyday or wedding) for sale  in pink and grey.  Grey is THE color this year.  Grey and yellow, grey and purple, you name it and grey is there.     Years ago people used to have 1 or 2 colors however today I have many customers with 3 or 4 wedding colors.  The first time I got a request for hankies to match the wedding party, the bride said her colors were, coral, sage, gold and ivory.  Can you believe I found a  fabric with all 4 colors?!  Fabric companies keep up with fashion styles and trends too.
