The dust on my machine must be an inch thick!!! I am embarrassed to say that I KNOW it has been since January since I touched either of my machines. :( My kdg students this year were the 'sickest' kids I have had in years and it seemed that my asst and I were constantly battling colds along with them. I am now on summer vacation (just started the 10th) and dd's wedding is next Saturday. After that, I will enjoy the rest of my summer by sewing most afternoons (I will work in the yard/garden in the mornings).
