A project that happened through a series of favorable coincidences and in the end materialized in about four weeks from the initial idea. One of my most eBay-intensive prop finding jobs was obtaining all the period specific cotton reels. Don't even get me started about the story behind those sewing sheers.
Machine twist is a designation printed on some of these reels and it is an automated mechanical process of twisting yarn. Another type of machine crunched the numbers for this image, involving at one point over 30 photoshop layers, hence the name.
