Hello Goodbye


 Hello There

After spending a about 4 to 5 hours over the course of two days washing, folding, pressing, measuring, and cutting out all the pieces of fabric that are going to be making up my very first quilt. I was so excited to start sewing them all together. Alas in the process of  sewing my machine decided it had had enough. It had been acting a little funny for a few weeks and I assumed that it was in need of a tune up. Of course I put it off and decided it was still okay to use. Which was a bad call on my part because now the gears are sticking so bad it is impossible to sew with. I called a local repair shop and got some information from them on the cost of a tune up/repair if anything was broken or needed replacing. Just for a tune up alone...thats if nothing else needs repair it would cost 60$. Personally I could not see paying over half the cost of the sewing machine just for a tune up. Maybe I am just being silly or maybe It's just that I have been wanting a better sewing machine...but I opted to purchase a new one. So If there is anyone interested in learning how to sew but your not sure if you what to spend a lot of money on a machine you might not end up using very often. Then mine is up for grabs. Obviously you would have to pay for the tune up...who knows you may be able to find a place who will do it for less than 60$. Just putting it out there for any of my friends who may be interested in giving it a new home.

Goodbye
