Here's my hugs for you, Ggal--we're here for you!
Well, friends, the best laid plans........ I have 3 weeks off work and vowed to get my Rosie quilt finished. Got it all ready to go, practiced drawing designs on a white board, got my practice sandwich in position, stepped on the foot peddle and...Nothing!!! Yep, no communication between foot peddle and motor. After spending 2 days on the phone with HQ tech (who was awesome, BTW) decided it's best to take the S16 to the dealer and get it checked, sounds like an electronic problem. Will pack it up over the week-end and take it to dealer who, thankfully, is only 1/2 hour away and has an awesome LQS. They were so nice and helpful to an hysterical quilter!! Thought I killed it somehow; maybe it was all the nasty names I've called it. So Rosie will sit & stare at me some more. She's becoming the Quilt That Won't Go Away.
Hope yinz are having a better week than I am LOL.
