Thanks so much everyone! It is morning here in Australia, so I'll hold off on the wine for another few hours lol. I have left the house and we are having lunch out. I think I need to replace my bobbin race (the housing thing) It slips a lot- that's what broke the needle. Any how- this quilt is already three months late so what's another weekend?!!!!! Deeeeeeep breaths. That machine had better be in the mood to apologize when I get back!
