Had a major result this evening, I didn't mention that the cord on the power cable was completely corroded. I went online to order a complete new power cable and checked with hubbie first to make sure that I was ordering the correct one and he suggested that he would just change the cord wire. So off to our local Ace hardware store, we found the right cord wire, got home and a few minutes later we plugged it in and it works!!! I was doing a happy dance!!! now I just need to give it a good clean and shine!!!! I can't wait to sew with her and also I must get around to giving her a name!
