    Sorry to hear about your machine- hope you get it back quickly. I am always afraid of hitting the pins and have something terrible happen to my machine. Good Luck!

    Yikes..just the thought makes me want to cry for you.......hate when we do things in haste or just forget absent mindly....but we are not perfect and we learn from our crazy mistakes...so step back and hope that your machine gets fixed quickly so you can return to your sewing.....I have a question couldnt they lend you a machine until yours was being fixed?.......I have two machines and trust me when one gets ill the other does the work so you may want to think about buying a less expensive machine for times like this.....god bless.....Trish
    P.S.........dont use pins while your on your sewing machine.....I use fabric glue its not permanent but who cares its safer.

    Do you have an old machine to do it on? If not,why not go out and find a cheap old Singer and do your FMQ? Sorry for your bad luck.

    I'm so sorry! Hope u get it back soon. U need a back up machine!! I have a few! Look at Susan s on you tube on basting using boards! It's easy to bast and no puckers. No pins! Just have to cut ties! In fact I'm cross hatching a quilt and used a reg foot cause the machine with the walking foot isnt working. It was just fine!! I was surprised!!

    OMGoodness,

    I'm so sorry that this has happened and just when you need your machine the most! I hope that it isn't a costly and long protracted fix of the machine.

    BTW what a great hubby to buy you such a wonderful gift!

    I don't FM at all I'm getting the courage to try. My machine does not regulate the stitch length when doing FM quilting and my stitches are horrible, I know practice, practice, practice, practice....I will not ever use safety pins to baste reading about your accident. Now I will use the Sharon Schambers method that another quilter suggested!

    Sorry to hear about the accident. I hope that it is fixed quickly and will not cost much. Thank you for posting this, it is something I really had not thought about. Will definetely be more alert and watchful....may even stop using safety pins.
