i'll give you three guesses who sews over her pins anyway. and she has two fancy shmancy machines.
i'll give you three more guesses who has gotten very good at digging bent pins out of the bobbin area.
three more to figure out who has knots in her stomach every time - wondering if this will be the time she has to take the baby into the shop.
:roll: :lol:
I sewed a thin flower headed pin right down into my bobbin case, too! Freaked me out! I did have to take the machine in because my thread started breaking after that. Thankfully it was $15 part and my labor was covered under the extended warranty. Whew. Much more careful now.
