I wanted to sit and sew.
Machine has to be plugged into an extension.
plugged it to the wall and nothing.
tried all the plug holes nothing.
hit reset button. nothing.grrrrr
go to fuse box and turn off and on.
plug into all holes again.nothing !!
Moral of the story...............
REMEMBER TO MAKE SURE THE
OTHER END IS PLUGGED INTO THE MACHINE.
I think that says it all !!

We live, we learn and then we FORGET! Happy it was not the machine:)

So frustrating! :hunf:

yes very happy was not the machine.
it's old and I have used it far beyond it's life expectancy.
I was fully prepared to lift off table for trash and that was when I noticed not plugged to machine.

Whoopsie! Been there, done that. :oops:

Glad you figured it out and didn't trash the machine or pay a repair charge.

ROFLMBO been there, done that too :D:D:D

Too funny. Of course that's never happened to me

That is great! I haven't had that one happen...........YET!

bet you were grinning big when you typed this ...lol

I've learned to always check the switch on the power bar. Another lesson!

Yep, been there.

:oops: :oops: I've been there too. :oops: :oops:

We (me included) often forget to start with the easiest solution.

Been there, done that!

Been there too, my newest trick is the cord loosens from the foot pedal... At least we're not alone :)

LOL. Have to laugh, I've done this myself.

Oh yes, and that terrible feeling you get in the pit of your stomach when the thought crosses your mind that the sewing machine is broken.

exactly; and I love this machine even tho she is old.

ROFLMBO!!!
I did that at our last retreat, just as 2 Doods. She was helping me... :roll:
And there you have it....
:XD:
It is really nice to have a friend point out when you're blind. Thanks 2 Doods, you were my HERO!! :thumbup:

Yes, I have done that :oops:

You think *that's* bad?

I used to work in the computer area of a large firm. One day I got a call to come to the new area (building addition to which a huge section of the company had just moved) because there was something wrong with a computer. Got to the desk and the screen was black. Clicked the mouse and tapped a couple of keys -- nothing. Said to the user "That's funny. It doesn't seem to have any power." Followed the computer cord to its end, which was sitting on the floor. Asked the user, "Where's the electrical outlet?" User said, "You mean it needs electricity to run?" Turns out the entire section had been built and furnished without electrical outlets for the computers. Still shake my head at that one.......

omgosh now that is bad !!

LOL And mine was "make sure you are stepping on the right foot control"

ROFLMBO

That is the first thing hubby always asks me. Had the modem on computer out. Turned out that the power plug had gotten pulled on the modem. Never knew it had power to it.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I didn't get that far but have started the "testing" process when I discovered the plug wasn't in the machine

That is so funny, just happened to me yesterday!!!LOL

So sorry, but at least it isn't your machine.

LOL....yes that too has happened to me too! Nice to know it is not just me with that problem :)

Dreamer2009, don't feel like you are alone, I am right there with you, I have done the same thing before. Isn't it to bad that we have to get OLD. LOL LOL

Are you sure we aren't related?

you too? I thought it was just me

Yep, did that not too long ago. I wasn't even using an extension cord. The cord had come unplugged from the machine unbeknownst to me :roll:

Sounds pretty normal to me LOL

Too funny!! So like are you a fly on the wall at my house??

that is a good one..

This happened to dh yesterday with the iron. He was pressing the backing for his wall quilt. He asked "How do you turn on this iron?" I asked, "Did you turn it to 3 or 4?" "Yes and it is plugged in to the power strip and the power strip is plugged into the wall." Ooops, I forgot to tell him I had turned off the power strip since nothing was plugged into it and it was on wasting electricity. lol.

:lol: Yeah, that helps.

what's odd is I never unplug from machine unless moving it.
it hasn't been moves since being put there.

We spend so much money for our machines, wouldn't you think they could turn themselves on instantly when touched?? Maybe in the next generation someone will invent that little extra part!!
