I know just what you are going through with the sewing-withdrawls. I had the same experience 30 years ago when my machine went into the shop for timing. I had to borrow my mother's machine as I was ready to go off the deep end. Since then I have a back up machine should this happen again. Happen it did as of 2 months ago, my fairly new Pfaff when out of time or something, it's in the shop and I'm using my old Bernina. I also have a real old Pfaff I got a a yard sale a few years ago, it's my back up for the back up. I never want to experiece sewing-withdrawls again. Now don't let all this get you down. Find a back-up machine. Remember we are all here for you and totally understand what you are going through.
