quilter in the making

Glad your story has a good outcome and you will be able to continue with all your projects. My main machine broke right before Christmas and now my backup machine broke the other night. For now I am without any working machine. Unfortunately both of my machines are Babylock embroidery machines and both are out of warranty, so I have no clue how much it's going to cost me to have them repaired or if they are capable of being repaired. Am looking into a new machine to be used for my quilting so that I can reserve the Babylocks to embroidery work, but not sure I can convince DH I need an additional machine. I bought my Babylocks prior to our marriage so he had no input. Congrats on your daughter's upcoming wedding!

My machine went to the repair shop yesterday. It quit the last day of our retreat. I feel kinda lost. I don't have a backup. Might have to clean house instead of sewing.

I would suggest that you ..... phone a friend or a group of friends to get some help! What better way to build relationships and have a bit of fun that to accept the help of a fellow quilter or two. Think olden days when women gathered for work days, quilting bees and spring cleaning parties. I'd come but Alabama and Michigan are much more than next door neighbors. Tee-Hee!

I had a similar situation for a quilt for a friend who had pancreatic cancer. I was able to get my machine repaired temporarily to complete the quilt but did have to replace it. I hope yours is easily fixed as it was thru no fault of your own.

We'd love to see pics of the gowns and the signature blocks. Sounds beautiful!!

This is why most of us have several machines, cleaning house is just not so fun.

Oh, I can feel your stress. Glad you were there to catch it before something worse happened. Hope you get all the things done that need to be done on time and that you will be able to enjoy the wonderful moment of your daughters marriage.

Hope it's something simple, like a short that can be fixed quickly.
