Yes! I've considered the same thing. The 2 weekends in December, just preceding Christmas, this place is a madhouse. I was thinking of advertising it as Santa's Sewing sweatshop.

Hey Carolyn, it's likely not worth shipping from Canada, so I won't offer, but for those of us who have cords and pedals but don't have the machine to refer to:

Is it a 3, 4, or 5 prong cord that's required? Where it plugs into the machine...

I want to read that ad... Maybe collaborate on it and we'll run the same ad here, too.

Tis the week before Christmas and all through the house
not a stitch is sewn on Aunt Edith's blouse....
The stockings are holey and need mending SOON
the blue jeans and overalls give a view of the moon...
The quilts you intended are still in small pieces
your machine needs oil and cleaned and some greases....
if you need a machine to put it together
stop by Santa's sewing sweat shop no matter the weather....

BAD......... ok somebody tweak it....

bad version #2
Tis the week before Christmas and all through the house
not a stitch is sewn on Aunt Edith's blouse....
The stockings were not hung by the chimney with care
they were sitting unsewn on the table over there.
The jeans are all holey and need mending SOON
as are the overalls that give a view of the moon...
The kids are all tucked all snuggly in bed
while visions of sewing projects dance in my head.
The quilts I intended are still in small pieces
the machine needs cleaned, oiled and some greases....

version #3 - I need sleep.........

the machine needs cleaned, oiled and some greases....
The duct tape that holds the the plastic in place
is gummy and sticky and shreds up the lace.
The glue that made the tension repair
Is causing me to throw things and swear.
Something reliable is what I need
but Walmart is lacking those indeed.
HHHHMMMMM l look on Craig's List but what do I see
but a Smash and Sow on somebody's tree...
I need bench top thread injector to weld it together
stop by Santa's Vintage sewing sweat shop no matter the weather....

I think I'll start a new thread with the latest version......... prepare yourself.......
