Congratulations on the 'brand new' sewing machine. That is what mine seemed like after it was cleaned! Now I know what to do with the itty bitty screwdriver and itty bitty brush that came with the machine
I was too busy to clean it...I wanted to sew!
A second congratulations on the WL surgery! Your new life change and a 'new machine'..............the world better watch out for you and your creativity. My SIL had lapband surgery last July. He had to lose 100 lbs before they could even do the surgery. He has lost more pound - slowly - continuing the erxercise program every day - and is off all meds now for blood pressure and diabetes!
Will be thinking good thoughts for you.
