I know EXACTLY how you feel. My machine was in the shop for 3 weeks and I went into withdrawal - big time funk. My husband almost bought me a new one so I would quit moping, but I wanted MY machine back. Fortunately I got it back this past weekend. I have been sewing happily ever since and playing catch-up on the projects I had unfinished. You will be greeting yours like an old friend and be a happy camper again soon - hang in there!
