I'm down to one machine too. But not for long! I'm going shopping for a new one soon! It is just having the water shut off. You don't miss it, til it aint there!

Yesterday I was sewing and I got an error code on my Janome. I called my serviceman and after he called Janome figured out I had blown a fuse. Of course I live in a small town and he didn't have any fuses. They won't be in until the first of next week.

I am working on a quilt for Relay for Life that needs to be done in June. Could this happen at a worse time?

I can't believe how much I miss a sewing machine.
Sorry that this happened to you at this time but you may want to have your serviceman order more than one. Also make sure that you are plugged into a serge protector. It will less likely for you to blow a fuse if you are on a serge protector.

Great excuse to get another machine I think.... My first machine was a Kenmore that I still have and use when I am having issues with my Brother which I love as well.

That's the way it goes. The minute you get rid of something, you need it!

And here I have been feeling guilty because I kept my old machine. No longer!

Always a good idea to have a spare. I just sold 3 machines and still have a couple of spares and a new one on its way! A person can't have too many machines!

I just got back all my machines (3 sewing and one serger) last month and I have been quilting and sewing like crazy- I am trying to get all of the Christmas presents done. Over the summer I make one or two extra quilts for baby shower gifts, I know I was so lost without all my machines, so all I could do was collect patterns <GRIN>, buy material and all the notions that go with <GRIN>. Put everything together (cut it out, put zippers with patterns etc. LOL) and now I have been sewing my heart out, but I must say I really missed my machines; but I am so glad they are ALL running now.
When one went down, the next one went down and well you get the point !LOL

I'd just call the dealer you bought the machine from and let him know you were able to find the fuse and ask it would void the warrenty to have it put on by your friend. Or, ask your friend, since she should know. If she is also a dealer, it shouldn't be a problem as long as it is the right part.
