I'm Happy your machine is running like new again. Sorry about your son being banned from the room!

My snobble dolls don't have to be pin cusions dolls but thier nice ones, they can also be craft dolls too,using puffy paints,buttons,bows,ect...

My husband's evil son.... AKA Oscar... AKA the African Gray Parrot.... decided one day to visit my sewing room while I was out...

My viking has those soft rubber touch pads and Oscar thought they were pretty appealing... so much so that he chewed them off.

I was horrified and started dreaming up recipies for parrot fricassie.... took MY baby into the shop crying and the very helpful machine tech was able to magically restore her like new.

Oscar, needless to say is banned from my room under pain of death. The week without my machine was hell!

Hon,I feel for you. I hope your baby will be okay and up and running real soon. (I miss mine alot),I'm hoping I don't have to buy a new machine. They have anew Janome out for 5,ooo, all I can say is it better press & fold! [/url]

Not realizing it, I have been a really bad mommy. I had taken a machine maintenance class from my local Bernina dealer. They keep records on their service to my machine (which I had bought in PA over 3 years ago ) and knowing that the machine needed to be cleaned once a year, I had them look up the last cleaning. Guess what? They couldn't find any evidence of any cleaning at all. I had taken it in for tension problems and other minor adjustments which had all been recorded. But never any cleaning. I had cleaned where I could reach and oiled it regularly. So, , I handed it over . They will probably take pictures of the inside where only they can reach and display them on how NOT to treat your machine. I pick it up next week. Meanwhile, I am sewing on my little featherweight which I service regularly. I might or might not let you know what they find. I might be too embarrassed.

My baby had to take a trip to the Dr. yelp it needs a new tune up,and I miss her already terribly! It could need much more,I'll update once I get the news. It Locked up on me,I've put alot of miles on this machine in last four years. I'm hoping for the best but it's not looking very pretty.
Kathy had to sew today listening rummmmmrummmmmmrummmmm roarrrrrrrrrrummmmm! I'm not use to this at all, so I won't be sewing much except for my new line of snobbles pin cusions. Yeah, I thought I needed something for my new comic special "snobbles" it is very catchy! All in good fun don't be sending any VooDoo specialist after me, because "I don't believe in witch craft" ((okay)), "If you do I'm very sorry", just having some fun with my new line, ((My Line))! I should be able to come up with some fancy ones, I've got time on my side right now, Maybe to much time to some folks! I'll update how many I get made before my baby gets back home,rummmmm,rummmmm! Oh Boy,at least I'm having some fun stuffing! LOL!

My "snobbles" are pretty darn special to me! They're really Cute!
Love,Hugzzz to everyone
((Kathy is sewcrazy))
