My cup runneth over!
Ok, so I was happily sewing away on a few Christmas projects Friday - an
apron and a tea cozy for my oldest dd - and had to stop to do something else (probably eat!). When I returned to my sewing, I needed to change a bobbin. I turned on my machine (a lovely Pfaff 7530) so I could bring the bobbin thread to the top. Nothing happened! Oh, the light was on but nobody was home. No panel display, no foot pedal, nothing - just the light. Now how weird is that!? I pondered that one all day. I'd stop trying to get it to work and go do something else, then come back and try again. Still nothing (but lots of frustration!) Saturday morning on the way to get our Christmas tree my dh says, "take it to the shop, leave it and buy a new one." I was shocked! First of all, I think he already got me my present. Second of all, do you know what a new machine costs!?!?! Besides, I didn't know what was wrong with mine. OK, long story short, I packed her up and drove to the shop. Turns out that I had lost the Motherboard! Didn't know I had one to lose! It would have been a $200.00 repair on a 6 yo machine. Anyway, I got a fantastic trade-in (minus the cost of the MB) and walked out with a new 2056 for a really good price! It is the upgrade to the 2054 that is only a year old. This is all so crazy. I wasn't looking to get a new machine. I recently purchased a 1924 model 99 in beautiful condition and a 1910 model 27 treadle head with pheasant decals and had all the machines I needed for Christmas! Like I said, my cup runneth over! I guess I'd better get busy and produce a wonderful new quilt for my wonderful dh! Happy Holidays, everyone! -- * * * * * * * Happy Quilting! Laurie G. |

Howdy!
Yee-Haw! Laurie, you rock! And so does your husband!! This is just a really cool story; reminds me of when I went to "look" at cars about 5 yrs. ago, when the a/c went out on my old-old Mercedes. Came home w/ a new Plymouth; traded it a yr. later after I "looked" at the PT Cruiser and then sat in it: SOLD! G Senedipity is always just around the corner. Congrats. Enjoy that new baby. Ragmop/Sandy--laughing over the "I didn't know it had a motherboard to lose" part; used to see quilt students come into the quilt shop w/ their brand new machines who said, "It's got some kind of computer in it..."
