Hope Trixie is all lubed and ready to sew soon.
Well the engineer came and was flabbergasted to see how well she looked! He was stroking her and oohhh and aaaahhing...then he turned the wheel and told me she is siezed up! Not been used for years, so he has taken her away for a well deserved strip down, now I know this is going to cost me, but just think how well she will run for me afterwards, I should have her back by Monday latest...can't wait! Oh he has a few little extras like a cloth guide he says I can have woo hoo...mind you, I think I will end up paying as much to have her stripped down and made good as I actually paid for her but she will be tip top!
Oh and he couldn't believe how much I paid for her as one of his customers has just paid out £600 for one, unbelievable!!!!
Hilary faired much better with her little Graciebelle today, but I will let her tell you all about that if she hasn't already
