good morning. should be a good day to see the bees at the lilac.
Stitching Pink (host) 7:06:26 AM
Yes!! buzz buzz
Michael McCool 7:09:54 AM
St Vincent’s new album might be a source for today….
Danosaur🦖 7:09:59 AM
Always good to start the day with Saint Etienne
Stitching Pink (host) 7:11:11 AM
Good morning early birds!

Dale Hazelton 7:30:55 AM
do they sell detritus at sam flax?
Stitching Pink (host) 7:31:46 AM
lol
Dale Hazelton 7:53:21 AM
the knitty gritty!
Dale Hazelton 8:04:41 AM
do crafting needles wear like phonograph needles? when do you reach for a new one?
Stitching Pink (host) 8:08:51 AM
Great question! Yes - they do wear out. Honestly I change them if I find that they are not going through the fabric as easily. FIner needles will also bend.
Dale Hazelton 8:24:26 AM
i wonder if andy williams produced her music.
Stitching Pink (host) 8:25:22 AM
This was one was produced with Tommy Lipuma
Dale Hazelton 8:44:17 AM
we always sang 'cinderelly, cinderelly kinda' old and kinda' smelly.'
Morgana Tetherow-Keller 8:44:49 AM
Do you have a good source for a sewing machine repair person? I need a new belt on my table machine so I've been looking for someone who can come to me...
Stitching Pink (host) 8:44:51 AM
haha
Stitching Pink (host) 8:45:47 AM
That's a great question Morgana. There is a really good technician at Pennington Quilt Works who travels. Contact the store and they can leave a message for him.
Morgana Tetherow-Keller 8:46:13 AM
Thank you!!!
Justin Szeliga 8:46:59 AM
The Betty Hutton was the best song ever played on wprb
Stitching Pink (host) 8:47:23 AM
lol. those is fighting words Justin but I will take the compliment!
Dale Hazelton 8:57:07 AM
they bedazzle it.
Dale Hazelton 9:01:59 AM
i picked up a featherweight at a yard sale for 15 dollars. i said 'you can get a lot more for this, are you sure?' and she said everything had to go. gave her a twenty and didn't wait for my change.
Stitching Pink (host) 9:04:08 AM
Wow!!
Stitching Pink (host) 9:04:17 AM
What a lucky find!
Dale Hazelton 9:08:45 AM
i have to look up how to set the timing on it. probably not difficult at all.
Stitching Pink (host) 9:09:58 AM
There are lots of videos and books about how to repair Featherweights. At some point I will learn how to do it myself...
Dale Hazelton 9:12:45 AM
i found an 1870s wheeler and wilson in a nice treadle base on a local group fb auction group. the ad said it would be pretty painted and put in the garden. i had to save it from that fate and got it for 28 dollars.
Stitching Pink (host) 9:13:02 AM
Dale do you sew?
Dale Hazelton 9:13:27 AM
honestly, the most sewing i do is pillow cases and hemming my pants.
Dale Hazelton 9:14:25 AM
i used to do a lot when i lived in brooklyn, made curtains for my apartment from bolts of antique fabric that canal jeans used to sell. tailor throift store chlothes....things like that.
Stitching Pink (host) 9:14:30 AM
That's plenty of sewing!
Stitching Pink (host) 9:14:44 AM
nice!

Dale Hazelton 9:16:54 AM
have you ever looked into the singer patcher knockoffs for sewing leather?
Stitching Pink (host) 9:17:23 AM
I haven't. Sounds interesting.
Stitching Pink (host) 9:18:10 AM
YOu can find all sorts of machine feet online. My friend's father made feet for industrial use tailored to the project and material.
Dale Hazelton 9:20:39 AM
a scrapyard two miles away from me and one day i saw some interesting machinery there, it was all shoemaking stitchers, huge 7ft tall things. shame they got scrapped.
Stitching Pink (host) 9:25:29 AM
agree.
Danosaur🦖 9:35:12 AM
I like Julia Jacklin
Stitching Pink (host) 9:35:40 AM
lovely voice
Justin Szeliga 9:35:58 AM
In all seriousness that B. Hutton song was just a finely cut gem. It was so well written, the story being carried forward by the rhymes. I hear folks trying to write in that style but it doesn't seem as well crafted as those ones from the 1st half of the 20th century
Stitching Pink (host) 9:37:12 AM
The other thing I liked about it was that it exudes joy and energy
Dale Hazelton 9:56:27 AM
thanks for the music and info and chat.
Stitching Pink (host) 9:57:12 AM
Thanks for listening!
Danosaur🦖 9:58:08 AM
I'll be on pins and needles until the next Stitching Pink show!
