My mother-inlaw has a machine that takes two men and a small boy to move. It's weird because it has a tray you fill with oil before you set the machine in the base. The working parts are lubed by the oil. I think that's just one of about 5 sewing machines she has. She can sew like nobody. If she went shopping and saw a dress she liked, she would buy it, take it home and take it apart to make a pattern. She could sew it back together and return it with out them being able to tell. The talent was lost. My wife can't sew buttons on.
