Lisa you did great and even on vacation you cant get away from the machines can you........
The 500 series were notorious to be a little sticky after sitting around for a while not being used. A hair dryer is the ticket to helping you get it going. Just pop the top off and warm up the innards especially around the motor and hit it with some oil and it should start wanting to work for you.
I love the mouse nest in the White. They had it going on until you showed up!! :lol: :lol: :lol: But that is a beautiful cabinet and the machine looks like it will be really nice once its finished and back together. I love that you have all the bits and pieces that came with the machine and your right the accessories look like they are brand new!!
Sounds like you had a great vacation and a wonderful Birthday!!!
