Hope to get it back early next week. I think it just needs an adjustment. I hope so because I really do not have the funds for an expensive repair.

Or, you could go to the beach like I just might do now.

If I had a beach nearby, maybe I would. It is a beautiful day for the beach. But in Pittsburgh, the best thing is the rivers. Not real good for swimming.

Ugh. How frustrating.... Been there myself a few weeks ago. Was a good chance to get caught up on sorting my computer embroidery files, printing out patterns, etc. And of course...SHOPPING FOR MORE PATTERNS. :)

Sorting my designs is a really good idea. Maybe after that downloading spree!

Marji, I am in Portersville! Even closer than Pittsburgh. I love Erie. I usually get there at least once a year. This year, I have not been there yet. Maybe this is just what I needed. An invitation! I would love to come up to visit. Not this weekend because I work tomorrow. Possibly next weekend! I read your profile and we are about the same age. We should have a good time! I see your email in your profile. I will add mine to my profile. We will keep in touch.
THANKS!!!!

It is always a good time to go fabric hunting. Also looking in stores for ideas is a great way to help in creativity....

Babyred No one knows how we feel except those who have embroidery machines, I't like u have lost as U say "your best friend" or child or mom or DH. I cannot concentrate on anything but "I want my machine back" I even went looking to buy a backup machine. the cost is the only thing that slowed me down. Hope u get it back quickly *4u

Maybe no one else understands us, but at least we have each to lend a shoulder to cry on!! Thanks

I think that IT IS loosing your best friend, Your machine keeps you busy, you can talk to it, and doesn't talk back, sometimes you force it to overworked, and get no complains,it is happy is you don't clean or cook,etc., I LOVE MY MACHINE!!!*4u

try to find Granny's Forum.com, it is real hard to find that's why I have it bookmark, I went there one time and forgot to put it on my favorites, later on I look for it and found only very ugly places, but if you get to the right Granny's you will find enough freebies to keep you busy. Hope you'll find it.*4U
