I've wondered when they take all those tubes of bloods during a draw, how much is REALLY required and used? Do they use a tenth of it and toss the rest?

Stuff where iron on patches and hand stitching won't quite cut it, needs a machine but BB don't want to pay a tailor for repair so the stuff just sits. Lo and behold our local library has sewing machines for loan! Been a while since I used a Singer...
