Not only was I able to get two sets of these for less than $25 after using passwird.com’s special 20% off code, I also scored some great book deals at a local Barnes and Noble. This summer I received a $25 gift card from B&N and had held on to it because I hardly drive near one [...]

My sewing machine that is, because it’s been months since it was last used due to the lousy tension which I couldn’t fix. I figured I’d give it some time off with the hope the problem would take care of itself.
