No Sewing Machine Again

 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!
