Pick a machine to fit your needs Like everything else in our homes, automobiles and offices, the sewing machine is becoming computerized. How much the computer will help home sewers and how much they are willing to pay for it remains to be seen. According to a survey done at Utah State University, nearly 89 percent per-cent of Utah's residents do home sewing. Of those surveyed, 77 percent per-cent had a permanent sewing area in their homes. "These statistics indicate that Utah is a prime market for sewing machine manufacturers," says Linda Lin-da Tipton, state Extension clothing and, textiles specialist. "Many Ulahns are either looking to upgrade their sewing machine or buy their first machine." She says there are so many gadgets and accessories available on new sewing machines, one needs to do some careful shopping before selecting a machine. A good way to start making a decision is to ask, "What kind of sewing do I do?" and, "What kind of sewing would I like to do?" Machines are available to do everything but buy fabric, but many of the computerized options may go unused most of the time. For instance, in-stance, some machines are programmed pro-grammed to do hundreds of combinations com-binations of embroidery stitches, but this may be rarely used, Tipton says. . "The stitches you should be most concerned with are the utility stitches-straight, zig zag and blind hemming. You will end up using these for the majority of your sewing projects, so be more concerned about these than the decorative stit ches," she says. The potential buyer should set some priorities on what he or she is looking for before going to the store, but the best way to select a sewing machine is to take a few for "test drives." That is, do some actual sewing on several of the machines you are interested in, Tipton says. The best way to do this is to take along a test strip of coth when shopping. shopp-ing. Make sure the strip is wide enough for several tests. Also, make the strip out of several different types and thicknesses of cloth to test how the machine handles delicate and thick fabrics, the clothing and textiles specialist says. "Your test strip will allow you to try the different stitches the machine has, its power through thick fabric, ease of handling and stitch quality. Sitting down at the machine will also help you decide if the machine is comfortable to use," Tipton says. There are dozens of features and attachments available, so make a checklist to take shopping with you. Some of the items to include are: A gift for father and especially grandfather too often becomes a ore or obligation for the giver rather than a delightful experience. Boyd Nelson will propose gifts and methods of giving which should bring happiness to all on Father's Day. The Springville-Mapleton senior citizens will discuss this topic immediately following the noon lunch Friday, June 17 at the Senior Citizen Center. It is hoped that the discussion will be in time for both givers and fathers to get more joy and satisfaction from gifts on June 19 - Father's Day. Strong honored at art pageant Tanya Strong, a seventh grade student at Springville Middle School was presented with a $50 U.S. Savings Bond and a certificate of merit as a Sweepstakes Winner at the Utah Pageant of the Arts Youth Art Exhibit. Tanya was among sweepstakes winners from throughout Utah County who were honored at the Gala Opening Night reception, which followed the first performance per-formance of the 1983 Pageant season last week. Every student in Utah County schools was invited to participate in the Youth Art Exhibit, according to Marcia Peterson, chairman. She said more than 500 entries were received from most of the schools from Cedar Fort to Pay son. From these entries 175 selections have been hung in the exhibit, which continues through July 15 at American Fork High School as part of the 1983 Utah Pageant of the Arts. Sweepstakes winners from grade twelve to kindergarten were presented with awards, Mrs. Peterson said. adequate lighting, automatic but-tonholer, but-tonholer, assortment of feet, simple reverse, adjustable pressure, large bobbin capacity, variety of throat plates, free arm vs. flat bed construction, con-struction, speed and power variability- In general, look for a machine that is durable and dependable. One senior citizen commented that it is sometimes more difficult to receive a gift than to give one. Some fathers feel that any gift is one of the following: a hint to look better, work harder, give something in return, or will eventually cost father money. One father said, "What can anyone possible give me? I buy for myself anything I want or need. I never throw anything away, and I'm 75 years old. All I need is space to put what I now have." Boyd Nelson hopes to cause fathers to accept gifts more graciously, and to enjoy gifts more. He hopes to convince fathers that the thought behind the gift is love, and that there is never enough love. It is hoped that the discussion will direct givers to be more selective in their gifts for father. Does he want it? Will he enjoy it? The last topic discussed by the senior citizens was "A point of view," There was unanimous acclaim ac-claim for the efforts of the Springville City father's in the handling of the recent flood situation. There was also agreement that we live in a youth oriented society and all too seldom give enough credit to the experience of senior citizens. It was believed that such statements as over the hill, off his rocker, short a few marbles and old fashioned may have a negative effect upon everyone. A delightful musical program of old time favorite melodies usually precedes that Friday lunch and discussion. Merrill Christiansen plays guitar and sings tenor. Reta Hadlock plays the piano, and Zora Mae Turner sings the lead. The menu for Friday's lunch is: baked chicken, potatoes, gravy, mixed vegetables, roll, carrot cake, and milk. Summer employment of disadvantaged youth, 16 or 17, can save you money by generating tax credits up to $2550. Many handicapped individuals in-dividuals also qualify for this program year-round.
