Well, some of my chickies have been put on hold as my bobbin case in my embroidery maching needs to be replaced. Do you gals that have embroidery machines have to replace these often? I haven't even had this thing a year and have done MAYBE a total of 20 blocks with it. It is really going to stink if I have to replace it this often.... especially since it seems to be pretty hard to find around here. :cry:
