I got the old machine running again. :) It came down to leaving the screws out of the plate that sits on top of the feed dogs. And I noticed while I'm sewing if I push down on that plate to much it will start to act up again. So, anyway.......it works and I hemmed two pairs of jeans on it today.
The new machine came today. I basically unpacked it and that's it. Today was a crazy day. School was cancelled at 6am this morning for more snow. uggghhhhh I NEED A BREAK! So, my friend called and asked if I could keep her two kids today. Sure, I say. Plus, for someone reason I've had a headache every day this week. Now, I get migraine's....but these are not migraine's. I think I might not be drinking enough fluids. I dunno.............
So, hopefully I can "touch" the new machine tomorrow. I must say, by the looks of it, I'm intimidated!
I am so excited for you.....
ReplyDeleteOh how exciting!! I can't wait to hear how your first date with it goes!!
ReplyDeleteRemember it is okay to say "no, I will be too busy" when asked to watch kids (unless it is a PAYING job) After all, you do sew to make $$ so if watching kids means you can't make money.....
ReplyDeleteTell us how the first time with the machine goes! Excited*-*-*
I have had a headache every morning but one for a couple of weeks. I wish I knew what caused them. I have wondered if it is weather pressure but it sounds so crazy.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear that you're having headaches - at least they're not migraines. I hardly ever have headaches anymore since I was diagnosed with sleep apnea and use the treatments for that. Hope you get a chance to really get to know your new machine. What fun!!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY SEWING on the new machine!
ReplyDeleteOh....you will have a blast!!!! Hope your headache goes away so you can enjoy your time with the new machine.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear how you like the new machine....I'm sure you will love it. I know what you mean, though.....sometimes all the new features are intimidating.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your new machine - that will be FUN.
ReplyDeleteAbout the headaches - after all of the snow you've had - make sure your sewer vent pipe isn't blocked with snow. That can sure cause headaches when it happens, and worse.
Sara's advice is good. Or it could be that you are a bit dehydrated or sometimes "cabin fever" can cause a headache and the weather can cause headaches with the changing barometric pressures.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got the old machine running. Now it can be your back up machine. Check the presser foot pressure. That could be the problem.
Finally -YAY!!! for the arrival of your new machine!! Exciting!
Drink plenty of fluids, you are on a diet I know, I hope you are being sensible with it!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNew machine YIPPEE, cant wait for you to get to know it then we can start the learning thingy.
