Ciphering For Dummies - Or, Making Money The Hard Way, On eBay

I was doing some ciphering on my latest eBay sale (the Singer 237 seen below), and it's not pretty. I got one bid on my sewing machine, so it sold for the starting price of $34.95. It sure could have been better but it also could have not sold. So then I started to break down my costs versus my perceived $34.95 profit.

More Fantasia

I got the Fantasia all back together and was testing the different stitches. I got to the buttonhole settings and noticed the stitch length forward and reverse were different lengths so tried adjusting with the small screw on the back of the machine........ One of the few plastic pieces in the machine happens to be the eccentric cam to balance forward and reverse stitch length for the buttonhole. I'll give you one guess as to what happened.
