See, I would think the same about sending really heavy ancient sewing machines all over the world. That seems to be going on at some level. Needles seemed an easy ship to me compared to a heavy machine that is
5o years old. I'm going to give mine to the local gal I know. I should have just thought of her in the beginning. Thanks Roberta. TariaRoberta Zollner wrote:
Isn't the old Amish saying, "Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without"? There are so many things with life still left in them, and needles are among them. I use my needles until they are bent or broken. In my early years I learned to sew by hand because it used less thread than the sewing machine and one small spool was all I could afford. Although I don't know of any place to contact, I think it is a wonderful idea.
