Oh s&$(*@t

[Laochri MacTalabh]

I'd love to! But think I will have do the independent study correspondence class.

I just bought Barbara Tewksbury's book "The Art of Kiltmaking", and in a month or two, I will attempt to make a solid color kilt out of duck cloth.

Wish me luck!

I am just trying to workout my days in Tofino this year.... but the timing looks good!

My maple whiskey collection is in for one helluva hit!

I wish I had the time for traveling to the other side of the continent for that. If it were within a couple hours drive from me (on either side of the border) I'd come, but I guess I'll have to stick to working from the book. Besides, I want my traditional kilt made before then.

Is there a way we could bring our own sewing machine? If not then I'll just see if I can get a spot I one of your slots

[Steve Ashton]

I don't mind you bringing your own machine. I hope it is not an industrial. The excess shipping would be almost as much as the cost of the course.

Also, your pressure foot should be able to be raised at least 1/2" and perhaps 5/8" so all the layers of fabric will fit under it.

You should also lay in a good supply of extra needles. #18's or what you would sew denim with.

If you tell me what make and model your machine is perhaps we have one here that is the same and save you lugging yours through the airport.

My sewing machine is a Singer model 9018. My mom usualy uses it and she's teaching me how to right now.
