DH and I are in the process of packing up for a trip next week: Melbourne to Broome, towards the northern tip of the West Australian coast, then back home through the inland - a sort or big loop, about ten thousand miles by the time we get home again. We will be gone for about two months.
I have been wondering the same thing: take the machine, or not. We have a camper trailer, with electricity supply and all but, as usual, space will be a premium.
I am cutting lots of pieces for my GFG and preparing perhaps half a dozen DJ blocks, both to hand-piece.
My thinking is that if I get all the way to Broome and have become a desperado because I don't have a sewing machine I could buy a little one there, rather than drag one all the way from here.
Is this a good idea, and am I taking enough hand-piecing, or should I work a bit harder with the preparation now?
