EIGHT DOLLARS AND NINETY NINE CENTS worth of screwing. That does not include an additional $2.39 for postage (ouch). Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled to have a genuine Bernina needle clamp screw on the way to my house, but jeeeesh, what a bite in the shorts. This thing is so small that if you dropped it you would never see it again. I know, I've already had the "milling to exact specifications" lecture from my husband, blah blah blah, "you'll strip the head of the screw" blah blah blah. I get it. I really do. But lets face it, it's not like these screws are hand milled by blind nuns in Switzerland. Whatever. Meanwhile, I'm working on a canvas tote bag, being very careful to not break the needle because I can't replace it until my Porsche needle screw arrives. Heaven help me if I rip open the envelope and drop the thing.....
