thanks Richard, I worked at a plant that manufactured furniture under one of my many brothers they had a opening as a maintenance man working on industrial sewing machines, so after learning how to repair them I learned how to use them, plus all my sisters sew also which helped,when I first got married I use to make some of our kid cloths, then the plant closed and I started my own shop out of my house in 1979,and I have never had a vacation since just some weekends, but I really enjoy working and doing what I do ,
