I'm like you
MiraB ... do a lot of sewing during the holidays too!
Cleaning done and leftovers to eat ... and other than the obligatory gatherings to attend, other things are not happening ... so what better to do than sew?
And I am SOOOOOOO looking forward to this ME time ... yes all about me me me!!!!!
Glad you got the problem figured out ... though it's annoying when all does not cooperate!
