Default Checked my "baby" into the "hospital"

Apparently I have the timing out of whack, but NOW what am I going to do to entertain myself this weekend? Guess I could start cutting the next one...

Either that, or you can go shopping for more fabric.

Try piecing something by hand. You may find you like it!

You need a backup machine, even if it is an older used machine.

I have a backup - it is a very nice older Bernina (was my mom's, and she died in 1997) but I guess it's time to fire her up - but she can't hold a candle to "baby". Shopping for fabric - now THAT has potential!!!!

​Oh man, I hate that! It took my repair guy to tries to get mine fixed and took more than a month. Thank goodness I had a back up but I was sweating bullets!

Nice to have a backup though. I would miss not being able to sew.
