Thank goodness you were there! The Murphy Law applies your machine will act up ONLY when it is REALLY NEEDED! Hang in there, with all the good thoughts coming your way it will be successfully solved. HUGS HUGS HUGS My niece needed alterations on her wedding dress and I had done the alterations. She was trying it on and the zipper exploded! Of course she started crying and I started right along with her. We got it out of our systems and realized it wasn't that bad. It was still 4 days to the wedding and replacing a zipper is not a disaster. The zipper was replaced with time to spare. At the time after our drama we realized it could have happened the day of the wedding. Once we got it in perspective minor detail.
