I've been making pretty good progress this week on our blended challenge quilt. On Saturday, the kids and I put up the Christmas decorations and I decided one of my end tables really needed some kind of table topper. A trip to a seldom-visited quilt shop Saturday netted me a fun FQ stack of Christmas fabrics that I had not yet discovered, so I sandwiched 2 of the FQs together with some batting, did a simple channel quilting and started using a third FQ for the binding. Suddenly, my trusty Pfaff started making a horrendous noise, locked up, and now the flywheel will not turn at all!
I have my backup Featherweight, but I've grown dependent on my Pfaff with its built-in dual feed. :(
I guess it's to the shop we go, and Tuesday is the soonest I could take her. I hate spending the $129, especially during this money-draining time of year, but what can you do? At least I am still able to piece using one of my back ups, but there is nothing as comfy as your trusty old favorite machine, is there?
Tune in tomorrow when I post my progress on the blended quilt.
This is indeed sad news. Hope it is something simple and not too costly.
ReplyDeleteOh bummer! I hate that. =( At least you have a backup. But that really bites.
ReplyDeleteOh no! How very sad! I hope they can get it back to you quickly.
ReplyDeleteSAY IT ISN'T SO!!!! LOL!! Don't you hate it when your machine is broke? It's the worst feeling. Like one of your children are sick!!
ReplyDeleteOh no, Lisa!! That is terrible - why does it have to be now? Poor babies - you and the machine!! I agree with Sharon - it is like one of your kids is sick, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteOh no, I hope it doesn't have to stay in the shop that long. That happened to me not too long ago and now my Baby lock is sewing wonderful again.
ReplyDeleteArrrgggghh! Isn't that just the way it goes! Bummer.
ReplyDeleteI too own a Pfaff for the built-in dual feed function too. Love it! My fingers are crossed for you that it will be a simple repair.
