Thankfully it didn't start a fire... hopefully it can be repaired. You have so much work cut out for you! Now I know where that saying comes from.

This kind of thing happened to me at Christmas sewing season one year, and I didn't have a back up machine then either. I have since decided that I was meant to have a back up machine, because I've had none of this since I have another machine (or 2 or 5!) to sew with.
Hope you can get your baby back soon. I know your pain. Hang in there.

You do have a guardian angel that God gave you to be safe. Hope you get your machine back in time to get your sewing done.

The sermon this morning was about God's timing. Sounds like you are supposed to get a new machine! Hope things work out for the wedding.

Glad your machine is up and running again. Thank goodness it was an affordable fix. My Pfaff quit during a summer quilt retreat, but I have a back up. My fix was way more costly than yours. Hopefully it will be the last repair for a long time. I am happy for you that you can get all the wedding projects finished.

Thank goodness you were there! The Murphy Law applies your machine will act up ONLY when it is REALLY NEEDED! Hang in there, with all the good thoughts coming your way it will be successfully solved. HUGS HUGS HUGS My niece needed alterations on her wedding dress and I had done the alterations. She was trying it on and the zipper exploded! Of course she started crying and I started right along with her. We got it out of our systems and realized it wasn't that bad. It was still 4 days to the wedding and replacing a zipper is not a disaster. The zipper was replaced with time to spare. At the time after our drama we realized it could have happened the day of the wedding. Once we got it in perspective minor detail.

Wow - you were so lucky to be there when your baby got sick - SOOOOO glad you were able to get it repaired & cleaned so you could continue your sewing projects for the wedding.
God Bless

I've heard that when you take your sewing machine in for 'surgery' that you can request a loaner machine, sometimes at no additional charge, and the same as the one you brought in. I don't know if that is accurate or not, or if it is by locale, etc.. You just never know how long it will take to repair a machine.
