I had my sewing machine in the shop in September
for its annual clean and service.
They had it for almost 3 weeks then,
which was fine because I was gone for part of the time.
Two weeks ago I was quilting a baby quilt
and it began acting up on me.
I was using the serpentine stitch to quilt
and as I was sewing, it would switch to straight stitching mid row.
The only way I could get it back to serpentine was to turn the
machine off and back on again.
After the first time, it would switch back to straight stitch frequently.
So, back into the shop it went and the time frame is
four weeks this time.
:(
Thankfully, I wasn't planning on doing a lot of sewing
for Christmas.
Before I took it in,
I managed to piece this quilt for my great-nephew.
My sister-in-law (his grandmother) saw this kit while we were on
vacation in September.
I told her if she bought it, I'd make it.
It's been sent off to my quilter and should be back in a couple of weeks.
I really need to get a back up sewing machine!
Happy Quilting!

Yes, a backup machine has saved me many times
I have a spare (simple) sewing machine that you are welcome to borrow if you want. I don't use it. I bought it from an estate of a friend as a backup for my travel machine. I thought my travel machine was nearing the end of its life but it proved me wrong!
Exactly why I have more than 1 machine, that's my story and I am stickin' to it, LOL.
Perhaps someone could lend you a machine? I love the Singer 301 that I got at an antiques mall about 20 years ago. Perfect backup to the Janome.....Meanwhile, the panel quilt turned out nicely!
I would absolutely share a sewing machine with you if you were near me! I hope your machine fix isn’t too expensive and that they get your sewbaby back to you soon!
