As we all know sewing-machine(缝纫机) repair is one of the fastest growing businesses in the world today.Newspapers,women’s magazines,high schools and colleges are all encouraging millions of American women to do their own sewing,not only to make their
own shirts and sweaters,but also to make nice clothes for their husbands,sons,or boyfriends.The lates figures(数字) show that over 89 million American women,because of the high costs of ready-to-wear clothing are now making almost all of their families’ clothes.Most of these women 
get great satisfaction from making the family clothes on their own sewing machines.So it is natural that the demand(要求) for excellent service of sewing machines is growing.
Think of it! 89 million or more sewing machines,not including another 10 million sewing machines in schools of all kinds,need service at least once a year,and quite possibly four or more times each year.I know some women who return their sewing machines to repairmen time after time to get them fixed properly.I’ve seen sewing machines come out of repair shops in worse condition than they were when they went in.
So I’ve decided to write an introduction book to sewing-machine repair and teach people how to repair their own sewing machines at home.It’s not that difficult.In the book,I will teach you everything you need to know about how to repair your sewing machine.

Valentine's Day with average spending expected to rise eight percent over last year to nearly $200.
And along with their expanding wallets,4 million Americans are expected to propose marriage or
receive a proposal on Feb 14.

getaway or vacation. To seal the deal,48 percent of people think an engagement ring costing between

realistic,while five percent thought nothing of spending$10,000 or more on a ring.

said the bill should be split,but most unmarried men said they would cover the cost of the date.

together six months and 20 percent of married coupies did not refer to the subject until after they have
