My Pfaffie is in the shop... the woman in the shop was able to extract my quilt quite easily. That gave me hope that the problem is not serious and that a simple tune-up will do the trick. I had to just leave my machine and wait for a phone call from the repair person... when, I have no idea.
I dropped by church and picked up my old machine that I had left there. I had to pull out the manual to help me remember how to thread the thing and how it works. I think someone had used it, and had left it in bad shape. I monkeyed with it and got it running, but I couldn't get the tension set no matter what I tried.. so I gave up.
Now I have no machine, and it is amazing how unsettling that is. I barely know what to do with myself. I've been able to work on my knitting ... I'm almost done with a hat ... but I sure miss sewing!
Last night I attended this outdoor wedding. I have promised the happy couple a quilt, so my Pfaffie better come back home soon. I need to get busy.

Oh, I can relate to your post! Even though my machine isn't in the shop--just not being able to sew the last almost 4 weeks has left me a bit lost. But the past two days I've turned the corner and actually spent quite a few hours at the machine.
Hoping yours gets back to its home really soon!
Oh dear! It is never good to be machineless. Although I haven't sewed in months, my machine still holds court, gathering dust, on the dining room table with a laundry basket of sewing projects nearby. Hope yours is out of the shop SOON!
so sorry you're without a machine! so sad. I have an extra that really helps when emergencies like this happen. Be on the "look out" for a used machine so you'll have one in the "wings".
Oh my gosh - this is a dreadful predicament! Frankly, I don't know what I'd do without mine. Maybe clean the refrigerator or oven or closets -- 8-((( Hope it comes back home soon.
Can't relate to the sewing machine but I have similar feelings about my computer!
Looks like a lovely wedding!
