AH HA!!! Adding to my post above- now I get it. The length of the survey
hinges on your answer to the first question - if you haven't bought a sewing
machine in the last year, they don't much care what you do with it. My last
machine was purchased two years ago, so I answered that I had not bought a
machine in the last year. The rest of the survey in that case was very
short. They just asked what other crafts you do and the demographic
information.

I clicked on the survey link in Beverly's post once, again said I hadn't
bought a machine in the past year and again got the abbreviated survey I had
the first time. I had a hunch that first question might be the key, but the
website wouldn't let me take the survey again on the upstairs computer, so I
came downstairs and clicked the link from my laptop. This time I (shame on
me!) said I HAD bought a machine in the last year. This time I got the full
monty of questions about what and how much you sew, etc.

So there's the answer to the mystery - not everyone gets the same survey,
and it's mostly designed to find out what sells machines (at least in the
last year!)

I assume this survey is only relevant for USA , Here [ In Israel ]
things are a bit different, i usually find mt threads etc in a shop in
my neighbourhood , but in order to find cloth and `gadgets ` i have to
go to mid town [ where i am any way twice a week for other reasons] ,,
Since not everything published in mags is available here i just have a
habit of touring the vaeious shops from time to time, and find new
`things` !!!
I am sewing mostly skirts , shirts and dresses for me , i do a lot of
recycling my own clothes , I also sew part of my Fiberart.

Sewing machines are *durable goods*. So those immensely desirous
of seeing a lot of survey questions must aver a recent purchase of
same.

Maybe I'll skip it altogether bc us lynxers get a big blank screen
with "Zoomerang" in one upper corner.

Am not going to bother forwarding info on this to the former
staff of TSWLTH of my acquintance.

Thanks to the tips here, I put that I had bought a machine in the past
two years -- I did, but it was a very old machine - and got the extra
questions. I have a feeling that I may have skewed the results a bit -
listing all the brands of machines that I have..... hehehe

That's what I finally discovered let me take the balance of
the survey. My most recent SM purchase was the embroidery
machine. Let's see, my memory is failing, wasn't it just a
couple of years ago? And the latest serger was won in 2005.

LOL Well I own five sewing machines, all Singers of various
vintages, three sergers, and a coverstitch machine. Good
thing they didn't ask about irons and presses.... or
scissors....
