Here I was, just admiring the people on the thread who had all the sewing machines, and I just had one, and now I have none. It broke. Long story, but the gist is I've already spent more on it in repairs than I bought it for 10 months ago, and I'm not getting it fixed again. In fact, I'm trying to get my money back from the company that made it (wish me luck on that!). Now I am getting a brand new Janome 6500P (P is for Professional) in a month. The month didn't seem long to wait, until I was without any sewing machine at all. Sigh! I am bummed. Guess the house will at least get properly cleaned, but I feel those quilting withdrawal pains coming on fast!
