Yeah, my sister will never know it's not something I stitched especially for her *grins*

It's not really out of action, just sometimes when I've been doing something, it decides it's had enough and doesn't want to grip. I make it work most days, but I didn't have time for actual crafting yesterday anyway, not after going through all those magazines. And that was only a small percentage of all the magazines I own. It would take days to look through all of them.
