They were certainly built to last in those days, as is evidenced by the fact that so many are still around - and working - these days (a little bit harder to come by perhaps, but I think everyone knows at least someone who has one still working!). My Dad still uses my Mum's one for doing all kinds of repairs as they seem to stitch through even the thickest canvas! Loved your beautiful brooch pillows and cards too - just lovely!
