My treadle machines make a very soothing clickety-clack.

The one I used to use did too and it wasn't unpleasant - but it interfered with my radio listening (plays and other voice-based programmes).

Hand sewing, apart from being very satisfying, is an excuse to sit and relax while enjoying the radio.

I do a lot of knitting too and have a machine. Guess how I knit!

*sigh* You're a luddite? OK, you sew by hand, and knit by hand....do you own a food processor but never use it?
