- - My poor Bernina!! RIP (https://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1/my-poor-bernina-rip-t40024.html)

To give an example, since I just went through this not that long ago, just my sewing supplies and machines were over 50,000,

It is really hard to remember literally everything if there is nothing left or it is stolen,

No content insurance? Our mortgage company specified it. I am sorry your machine passed away. But ecstatic you and your family are alive and safe. Possessions can be replaced, family can't.

Well, I never even thought of insuring my machines, much less my stash. Believe me, I will. I have at least 30 machines at the present, not to mention the two rooms of fabrics. We have photographed the contents of our home, furniture, walls etc. I don't know why it never occurred to me to consider the considerable investment of my sewing supplies. Thanks all!

shequilts -- hopefully your pics are stored somewhere other than the house

I think it is toast. I plugged it in and it tries to start up, but doesn't make it. If it can be fixed, it would probably be very costly. Billy, any ideas?? Anyone?? I have a feeling I will eventually have to get anew machine. I am going to miss my embroidery!! Here she is. Feel free to cry...I did.

Your homeowners insurance should cover, less your deductible, the cost to replace, with a like kind and quality, your machine, and any other items (read that fabric, patterns, etc that were damaged beyond repair by the smoke or heat from the fire. They may want you to try and have your fabric stash cleaned - CONTACT YOUR INSURANCE AGENT or assuming you have already reported the claim, to your adjuster............

Cathy, please check your PM.

Sorry about your machine. Hope you feel better real soon!

I'm so sorry. Use your insurance money to get a new one.

That poor baby. I'm just happy you and Adrian are still with us. I know your mom sews. Does she have an extra machine you could borrow for a while.

Cathy, I'm so sorry. What a rotten thing to have to go through. I'm hoping you all get settled soon in a new home and can begin to rebuild your sewing area.
