The 4 boxes just arrived at my work.

I cannot take the time today to unpack and repack here at work, so I will not post the rest of the pics until tonight.

However, I thought you might like to see another example of how PROPER packing can save the day.

NO SEWING MACHINES OR TREADLES were harmed in the making of this thread...

The inner cardboard layer that the irons are attached to is also a bit impacted, but the foam behind that absorbed the blow and the irons are intact.

The soft foam inside took the blow, and because the footpedals and such were secured TO the foam, they did not get thrown about and broken, which clearly they would have. A second box here might have been better, but the inside was well packed and the contents are good to go.

A huge thank you to Miriam for making this happen safely. I know how difficult it is.
