Oh yes! In fact, my Juki needs to go in for the annual checkup and I just cannot get myself to take it in. And I have 2 other machines I can use, Hey, what if they mess something up on it??? Tee Hee

I bought another machine the last time mine went in for its bi-annual tune-up because I had horrid withdrawal the time before. So this time when the new one went in for its check, things were going to be okay ... Right?

Wrong.

I'm sewing and doing all the things I'd be doing anyway, except I'm finding myself wondering about it like when one of the kiddos are away from home. I don't need it, but I sure feel disconnected somehow.

I think a shrink would have a picnic with a number of us!

Yep, went through the same thing when prepping and painting two rooms a few weeks back. I really hurt! But I'm back and it feels so good! :)

I feel you. Sewed today for the first time since May 18. Had surgery on my finger. Must take it slow.

Makes sense to me! I'm thinking twice about letting any of my older...and working!...machines go!

I don't know where you are, never heard of Mooresville. I'm in Cameron, an hour south of Raleigh.
