Default Machine Fixed!

Hi Quilters! You may remember this thread I started
https://www.quiltingboard.com/vbulle...s-t322230.html

We are so rural, that to find anyone to work on machines, is hours away. I lucked up! A couple of ladies I sew with, told me about a guy that used to have a machine shop, but retired and moved. However, they said he moved in the country in their area. I got his number and called Saturday before noon. He told me to bring my LA that afternoon and he would try to see about it Sunday afternoon. I picked up my LA Monday, after he got in from work at 5. Yes, he retired and went back to work doing something else. Anyway, he set the timing and made hook & needle adjustments. He was really good on his charges, too I thought, except for the $25 ‘test sew’. Anyway, I cut out and made/quilted these throw pillows for my granddaughter’s room to match her quilt I made a few years ago. Mom bought a new futon for Avery’s room and wanted these pillows for it. This was Cottage Joy fabrics ( loved the mason jars) and quilt was Double Slice by Missouri Star. Showing both sides of all pillows. The big shams I put the zipper and a flap on the yellow side. On the throw pillows I inserted the zipper in the bottom seam.
I’m just so relieved to have my machine fixed! I was in a slump, not wanting to start on anything really.
