I am so sad right now. My sewing machine is broken and I am not able to fix the problem myself. The problem is somewhere in the bobbin shuttle. When I try to sew I can see the thread in the bobbin area on the outside front of the bobbin case and it is chopping up the thread as well. It also sounds off, like a slight grinding noise. I've tried changing the needle, a different bobbin in and taking the shuttle out and putting it back in again. None of this has helped. I'm afraid of how much it is going to cost to fix it, let alone how to pay for it. I'm going to try cleaning up one of my old Riccar's that I got back from my ex a few months ago. They are both really dirty and haven't been used in a really long time. They were outside in a shed before I got them back and I don't know how that is going to affect them. I was working on a mug rug for my SP and the block for Marty. I was almost done stitching down the appliques on them and then all that would be left is to sandwich and quilt them. At least I got one thing made for my SP before it broke. The mug rug was going to match the sewing machine caddy that I made. The block for Marty was also in the same style as well.

I received my SP package from Frickles, sorry I'm just now posting that I got it but I've been so busy putting up my Christmas Stuff. Any way here are some pictures of what I received, such a great package and thank you! She sent Snickers most of them are gone. (LOL) a 1/4" Magic Seamer, Lint Brush, Tracing Wheel, Tailor-Ette, Fabric Scraps, 3 snowman embroidery block, 4 flavor tea packets with a homemade carrier, and 3 Christmas Ornaments already hanging on the tree...And if I forgot anything I'm sorry, but the pictures shows all the items...Thank you sooooo Much!
