Ready to Sew!

 Disaster has occurred to my Janome  7700.

It seems to be permanently in the shop waiting

for a replacement motherboard, hopefully used and 

inexpensive. In the meantime, my singer featherweight,

complete with its extension table is going to slide into that

spot and keep me happy in the main workspace.

I cleared out the remains of the 7700 and

stored them out of sight so I don't miss it too much.

I have a small table that I purchased at the local

Walmart and have been using as a drop down

sewing table. It puts my sewing machine level

with my other tables and makes me feel like

I have a massive extension table.

It's worthwhile since I do a lot of  larger quilts.

It is also portable so I can haul it to retreats if I want.

A thrifty find of a wooden TV tray set has made

that unnecessary so it stays put now.

First, get the table to correct height, or close.

Oops needs to drop down one notch.

Then adjust the extension table height with

the handy screw up/down feet.

This made the machine too low for the extension table!

I drafted two quilt magazines into use under

the machine, and now I am ready to sew!!

This little featherweight dates anywhere from 

1941 to 1957 since the SN prefix is not on the charts. 

I still love it and pretend it is from my birth year. 

It is great to take to retreats or sew days since it is 

light and stitches quickly. 

There is even room for my thread holder on my new setup!

All ready to get to stitching! Lots to sew!

Here is some puzzling fabric I found. It is sure 

to make an interesting addition to the latest family quilt!

Stay safe and sew on!
