I am on my third machine trying to finish Christmas projects. My Featherweight has problems in the bobbin area. It is already in the shop. My Pfaff threw a tension fit and usually I can get it straightened out but not this time, so it will go to the shop when I go get the Featherweight. Now I am sewing on a Babylock that I am not familiar with so have to keep consulting the book, but it's sure better than nothing. I'm not out of machines yet, think I still have about a dozen more! Never give up!
