    Default Checked my "baby" into the "hospital"

    Apparently I have the timing out of whack, but NOW what am I going to do to entertain myself this weekend? Guess I could start cutting the next one...

    Either that, or you can go shopping for more fabric.

    Try piecing something by hand. You may find you like it!

    You need a backup machine, even if it is an older used machine.

    I have a backup - it is a very nice older Bernina (was my mom's, and she died in 1997) but I guess it's time to fire her up - but she can't hold a candle to "baby". Shopping for fabric - now THAT has potential!!!!

    ​Oh man, I hate that! It took my repair guy to tries to get mine fixed and took more than a month. Thank goodness I had a back up but I was sweating bullets!

    Nice to have a backup though. I would miss not being able to sew.
