Computers: Feedback: A stitch in time
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.THE piece on embroidery last week drew a considerable response, writes Andrew Brown.
Margaret Beith of Chester wrote: 'The main problem with using a sewing machine attached to a computer is that the computer cannot do anything else while the embroidery is being worked. Most people I know who do embroidery or quilting have to share the computer with other members of the family who want it for quite useless pursuits.'
Mrs Beith recommends instead using a computer solely for the design of patterns.
