You know what this means, right? Yep, the 9000 was in the shop. Bleah.<\/p>\n

Or so, I thought. It wasn’t really bad, though. I took the 9K to a place I used to take it to. The owner is a used car salesman kind of guy, but I wasn’t happy with the last service, so, at TFQ’s urging, I went back.<\/p>\n

I took the machine in on a Friday and they called me SATURDAY to pick it up. I kid you not! I was amazed. The repair guy said that he had several similar machines to service, so he did them all at once. I went on Monday after work (2 hour round trip) to get it.<\/p>\n

Closet Chaos<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Houseguests arrived that very evening. You know what that means, right? No sewing. Yep.<\/p>\n

No fabric pressing or fondling. Nothing.<\/p>\n

I didn’t get to test the machine. I took everything down – iron, ironing board, cutting table and put it all in the closet. I am fortunate to have a husband who may not like it, but doesn’t complain about the way I have taken over the upstairs closet. I pinned the Corner Store pieces to the portable design wall and made the bed.<\/p>\n

I didn’t get to test the machine until Friday. Yes, the following FRIDAY. Friday afternoon, as a matter of fact. I am glad I took it to the car salesman shop, though, because my sewing machine feels like her old self. The feet are actually holding the fabric to the bed of the machine. I had forgotten that it did that. The repair man said there was a belt problem.<\/p>\n

I sewed like a demon on Sunday. Stay tuned for that report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
