The Gears

Yes!  The gears to replace the worn out ones on my Bernina have come in!  

Finally...

I say "finally" because I have the feeling the gears have been there for a while but no one called me to let me know....  which is important because I brought my barely working machine home before Christmas so I could finish up a couple of small projects. 

The shop owner did an excellent customer service spiel...   

"... blah blah... holidays... blah blah... closed for inventory...  blah blah blah... work backed up... blah-dee-blah-blah..."   

...but, I'm not sure how that negates the fact that I was not called when the gears came in.

Anyhoo...  a friend and are making a road trip this morning to take my precious Bernina to have her gears replaced...  and do a little fabric shopping and lunching out...

I can live with that!
