*great big sigh*

I was sewing along yesterday afternoon, making a flannel pillowcase to be a gift bag for one of my granddaughters when....  

You would be proud...  I did not pout and I did not cry.... I called  John, the sewing machine repair guy who takes care of my machine!

I was able to describe what was going on and John diagnosed it as a timing issue...

John could have taken care of this for me yesterday afternoon... but he is 1.5 hrs away and I have family visiting.

So....  I will send my machine home with the kids this afternoon and my dear son-in-law will take it to John on Tuesday.

I will drive up Wednesday to pick it up again....  which won't be too much of a burden because the sewing machine shop also carries lots and lots of beautiful fabric!!!

 Hopefully, I'll be up and running again on Thursday...
