Tea? (Part 2)

[somewhere in america]

Somebody must have that job, so farmers can artificially inseminate pedigree cows! (I'm now waiting for somebody to tell me that they have the bovine equivalent of an inflatable sex doll to carry out the 'milking' task!)

Actually, it's called a phantom... at least here it is.

But not as dumb as chickens

Have a pile of school trousers waiting to be turned up, sewing machine kaput.

Motor is working, needle not going up and down - any ideas CycleChatters? Are sewing machine repairs expensive?

Might be a bit obvious (sorry if so) but have you checked the - blimey, I don't know what it's called - on the RHS you have the turny-wheel thing - the inside of that moves separately and stops the needle moving (for when you're filling bobbins).

Nope, it's done by hand.

I think you are wrong there - link! There are some confusing differences - US tons <> UK tons, US gallons <> UK gallons, and so on, but pounds, inches, feet, yards and miles are the same.

Um... except when you say pound you mean money. (Speaking of which, what is a quid?)

I thought you guys did kilometers and centimeters and all that

Yes, I was thinking along those lines, but could not think what it was called.

Found it in my sewing machines instructions: The Clutch knob.

Learnt something new today. I had no idea that was what it was called.
Do you think turny-wheel-thing would do?

Well I knew exactly what you meant.

Bear in mind, though, that my sewing machine is about thirty years old. It might be called something else now on one of those new fan-dangled electronic/computerised machines.

 

[Speicher]

I think that Night Train and @Arch do sewing on a machine, he would probably be able to explain exactly what it is called, along with the gear ratios, and how to replace one.

Mind of a sewer?

Which one of them though?

 

[hopless500]

I know the feeling. My first name is Fraser but my in-laws have written it as Frazer for the last 27 years......I've given up mentioning it

Mind you, I have a similar problem. I reckon in my entire life, people have spelt my name correctly 3 times (obviously not counting family here)

Clutch knob

(What could @Pottycat possibly mean?)

It wasn't an instruction
