GREAT NEWS! My Husqvarna has been repaired. Maarten has put in the new electrics and thankfully that is under warranty. The problem is he has just rung 4.50pm and he is shutting at 5.00 and won't be open till next Monday!!!!!

Anyway he has replaced my feed plate, the screw that holds the needle in place and done a full service so I'll get out of it under $170.00. I am happy with that. It will be nice to collect my baby on Monday morning and then I can get cracking with the Uganda quilts.

YEH! CAN YOU TELL I'M DOING THE HAPPY DANCE!

Thanks for all your thoughts and responses. Love and blessings Chris

Good for you that it is repaired and I'm sure you will not be bored this weekend with Ophelie at your house today and the Australia Day tomorrow. Think a crafty person like you don't know the meaning of boredum...
You can do a dance-party in your sewing-room :o) What a pity that Meganne is not doing so well to dance with you to the CUTE-song *lol*
Greetings, Bettina

Monday isn't that far off and you have lots to do between now and then so it won't take long.

Thankfully Ray is here to help now until Sunday.
Really happy for you.

Can feel your happy dance. This long holiday came at the wrong weekend. Can see you up and waiting for him to open on Monday. It's been a long wait.

You're spot on Anita - Trevor asked me what I was doing Monday - I said I'd be at the door when he opens! I have to take the old one in too to get fixed. I explained I had to sew backwards and he laughed out loud! Love Chris
by cfidl 25 Jan 2012
LOL too funny I can just see you loading eveything backwards. Now that is commitment to the craft!or ???

I am happy to hear that your machine is finally repaired It sure took him a long time. I need for you to come visit and bring your machine. My repair man usually takes 2 days max. I am sure you will keep busy over the weekend and I just bet you will be at his doorstop when he opens his shop!!! Hugs, Mary

My problem was Christmas and the New year and then Maarten was on holidays till 16th - but I still thought he'd have it done before now! He had to get the part from Sydney - 2 hours away, not that far in Australian standards. Love C
