My machine is ahhhhhhhhh broken! Hubs took it in tonight & my guy says it looks like the timing is off? YIKES not sure how I did that but hopefully an easy & not expensive fix. I like most of us hate having it in the shop this time of year when I am still finishing projects! ahhhh

what a horror.. do you know why this happened ? Have any idea how long it will take before it is fixed ? cross my fingers for you !

I am crossing my fingers I hear back from my repair guy any time now & I am hoping it is good news too.

oh no!!!
hope your machine will recover soon, we cannot miss our machine at any time, and certainly not this time of the year...

thanks Gerry & you are 100% right! The machines should know better LOL~hugs~

I know exactly how you feel - my machine bit the dust last week. I would say about 90% of what I had to and 80% of what I wanted to do was finished. Guess it's off to the mall for me..... :-( Hugs*

oh the mall YUCK I feel bad for you but @ least you are close to being done & that is a good thing too. Maybe Santa will fix it for you or get you a new one, fingers crossed!~hugs~

I am sorry to hear this and hope, you have another machine, you can do a lot of things without embroidery, you can make appliquet, can use ribbons ore decorative stitches as well. Before I buyed my Janome MC11000 I had a normal home sewing machine and made appliquet and other embellishment without any hope and do a lot of things today the same way because I work in the same time without hope as with, except embroidery.

that sounds like a very good idea & I will give it a try maybe if I can't get it back soon. Thanks ~hugs~

It is never a good time for our machines to go wrong but Christmas is the worst. Hope you are up and running soon.

OUCH that is so mean I feel so bad for you that you will be without it for the holidays but it will come back good as NEW! I guess we use this time to crochet read rest UGH I have no idea! ~hugs~

I am sorry that you machine is sick. I came to the conclusion, that it is never a good time when they need to be repaired. Hope you get her back soon without too much expense.

going away on vacation & leaving it @ home is the perfect time for it to get a check up lol & that should be the only time it needs to go to the Dr.'s

O no, lets hope it has a reset button, and it gets back to you soon. so you can whiz up some more stuff.
Hugs Pam.

Oh Laura such bad timing! I hope that you get yours back quickly.

Hope they can fix it so you get it back before Christmas. My machine is acting up also. At the end of each design, the message comes up "design finished" and then the auto thread cutter cuts the thread. Well the needle is staying in the down position and I have to manually raise it. I am working around it but I realize something is wrong. Kay
