hello, to all of you who are wondering how i am doing with my 6 needle machine, i think it is cursed . the first part of oct, i was so upset over not being able to get it sewing , well lot of good that done... i had a mini stroke, ended up vacationed in the hosp. a few days, lucky me i messed up my speach for a short while, left side is weak, but getting better, my worse thing is my left lower leg , have to do threapy on it can not raise it off the bed only about 6 '' or it it hurts, guess i won't be sewing on the beast for awhile... sounds like lots of you have health issues, so i don't feel alone , hope you all get better, thanks for hearing my complaints, doris

May you be blessed with healing grace and soon return to your stitching as that will be good therapy and you need to tame the 6 needle beast! You are braver than I am just for owning one. I have the feeling I would stitch myself to it and have a real mess! :P

How scary for you Doris. I pray that with all the physical therapy that you will be doing that you will soon be back to normal. Hope your machine will behave itself also! Love and prayers being said, Chris

I'm glad you updated us on both you and your machine. I know you will have prayers going up for your continued improvement. Keep up on your therapy and I hope both your speech and your left side and leg regain full strength and movement. I can think of many better places to vacation by the way. Don't worry about you machine. Mine have mostly been sitting for much of this year and they have not complained.

Oh no to both. First I am glad you are making progress with the help of therapy. Hang in there and hopefully you will be your old self again soon. I also hope you can get help with your 6 needle. There should be no problem. Go back to the dealer for advise.

thank you angie, and sorry i missed saying happy birthday,i didnt get my machine from a brother dealer, , i got it online from a seller who was selling a bunch of these, got a great deal and lots of extras with. my fix it man that has worked on all my machines for at least 25 yrs, retired and he helped me get going, but there is so much to learn, he comes to my house when i need him, but he lives 50 miles away, i just can't ask him to be here all the time, i wish there was someone closer to me! and i have looked at most videos on web, some help some don't.. i will just quit complaining and try to get better, then try again, i just hate it when im sick.... bless you , doris

Ah, the good news is that you are getting better. So sorry you had to go through this but once you're feeling much better you will have another chance to tackle the monster and tell it who's the boss. There's nothing more frustrating than to have a new toy and not be able to play with it. Do you think because this month is Halloween that it brought out the monster in an otherwise meek and mild mannered bag of nuts and bolts. Get even with it. If your eyesight is good (or when it improves) start reading the manual again and watch some YouTube demos. Of course, there are many Cuties who have this ill-mannered child who will offer you good advice. The main thing is to concentrate on continuing to get well -- and give the evil eye to that thing until it becomes a pussy cat in your hands. Please keep us updated. You will get better. You're strong and you're in our prayers.
God Bless.
