Was always a stay at home type since retirement from teaching. Love it just as much and I'm glad I held onto my stash for so long, as well as my mechanical machines. My neighbors have been kind and fun to be around.
I also learned how to disassemble my electronic machine when it froze up. It looked perfectly clean inside but needed to be oiled even though the manufacturer says needs no oiling. Watched Sewing Machine Repair Guy videos to help figure out my bearings had seized. Normally I would have taken it in but in these not so normal times, the waiting list for repair was months.
The machine works again, but don't know for how long. Will enjoy it as long as it lasts. Having maintained mechanical machines made the experience less intimidating.
Sewing without a timeline is way more enjoyable than trying to meet a deadline. Quilting is more fun on mechanical machines because they seem more powerful.
Common sense is seriously lacking in some, but others have a ton of human kindness that they put out to the world.
