Luckily he can fix just about anything, so experiementing isn't too big a deal for him. But he might stay away from Bessie for a while :)MafiosaGrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06860313247160613286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831458657591132204.post-81258364753734884222009-12-29T18:16:14.182-08:002009-12-29T18:16:14.182-08:00My husband doesn't know how to use the washing...My husband doesn't know how to use the washing machine let alone a sewing machine ;)<br />Great post! xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831458657591132204.post-43388072041727905152009-12-29T11:30:11.664-08:002009-12-29T11:30:11.664-08:00Always- I was lucky he insisted in getting me an o...Always- I was lucky he insisted in getting me an old, quality, machine, all metal parts and such. I think a newfangled one would freak me out!<br /><br />Theresa-yeah, he is very much a free-form artist (I'll eventually post more of his (flattering) work on here,lol) I'm going to see how she's doing later today, I'm crossing my fingers that I can get rid of this problem by throwing money at it- cue expensive thread!MafiosaGrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06860313247160613286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831458657591132204.post-24756031291101986512009-12-28T17:40:59.501-08:002009-12-28T17:40:59.501-08:00Hey, he's just a freeform artist, right?

If it were my machine, I'd DEFINITELY be taking one of those free lessons offered. I'm NOT mechanically minded but have learned to do simple stitching on the machine. And my mom is a wonderful seamstress. She wonders how it is that neither my sister nor I inherited her love of sewing. I'm too lazy to learn something else LOL I hope Bessie was just coughing and she's all better now :-)TheresainMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04675854621084980591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831458657591132204.post-8017513332535756072009-12-28T16:54:29.446-08:002009-12-28T16:54:29.446-08:00I had to laugh when I saw this!

He learned on one of those new fangled computer jobbers.

I can't wait to figure this beast out.<br /> I'm lucky that the store he purchased it from gave it a warranty even though it's an older machine- if my new fancy thread doesn't work she's definately going in. and he offered a free lesson that I think I need to take him up on,lol.MafiosaGrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06860313247160613286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831458657591132204.post-63462481707259724462009-12-28T07:52:47.590-08:002009-12-28T07:52:47.590-08:00This is awesome!

My sewing machine has all these fancy ass settings that I have no idea how to use...I think you have to change feet or some kind of craziness. <br />That Place That Sells Sewing Machines used to do tune ups, maybe they could give her a once over?Mrs. Evilshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17816314851834527968noreply@blogger.com
