Perhaps you are unaware that many emails that come with just links are
viruses. It only takes a moment to write a sentence or two. It is the current
norm for email etiquette.
For what it's worth, I agree--if sending a link, I would append a sentence
first.

Thank you to everyone who had offered ideas for head coverings and ideas

So don't buy anti-virus software or a firewall, don't use an ISP who
filters out malware before you download it, and don't mouse over links

Just don't click on any links. Or don't read any email at all. Not

You're quite right. It's a silly discussion and I hate groups when they

Hi all,
I found this, which seems like sensible advice:

sentences about why you are sharing it. This gives your friends a heads

You mean the Bernina 1008 will actually sew over pins? I gave that up
after I (immediately and very expensively) ruined the timing on the
machine I bought right after the Sears Kenmore died. The Kenmore would
sew over anything, so I assumed the newer machines would. Big mistake,

I figured it might be useful for quilting. I find that basting is quite

During the second half of the 19th century, home sewers could buy

Sewing over a pin is bad for the needle, can chip it if not break or bend
it.
I find it hard to believe that you need so many pins to hold a simple seam

are a different story. . .

I should add about the feet--I have been a traditionalist for the many

Some modern machines will sew over pins. Most of the time, I remove them as I
sew, but there is one task which requires me to leave the pins in and just sew
over them. I've dented a pin once or twice, but never had any issue with the
machine itself nor have I broken any needles. I've done this
