Hello fellow sewist,
Hoping all had a beautiful and blessed Thanksgiving. My
Thanksgiving was blessed. I ate well and enjoyed time visiting family. My
sewing mojo was even in full gear. I planned and prepared to make two version
of M6992. Then I discovered that I only
had enough fabric to do one, so I decided to make a cocoon sweater and found a
pattern by Truebias.com. Cut that out and sewed that up first because
it was going to be an easy sew. (Reviews will be coming soon). I worked on M6992 Saturday, Sunday, and with
finishing touches on Monday. And that is when disaster struck. I was about 15
inches from finishing the hem when the needle holder on my Brother XL5700 fell completely off!

Sob!!!!! Luckily I have a Euro Pro Fast and Easy
machine as back up. Its basic but it got the job done.
The funny thing abou tthis is while sewing the hem I was
thinking how nice it would be to have a machine that could stop in needle down position
and how I would like to have a computerized machine. Do you think the sewing machine read my mind?
Did I hurt its feelings? Did it intentionally drop
the needle, holder and all? LOL!
Well I am taking this as an opportunity to research machines
for an upgrade. Do any of you have suggestions on model or type of machine to
buy? What type of machine do you have? Do you like its features and would you
recommend it to others?
Please Help!!!
Meanwhile, I will I will be sewing on my Euro Pro. Hopefully
it will hold up. I have fabric on the table ready to be cut and sewn.
God willing!
Keep sewing and God bless…..
