So . . . On the eve of going into the hospital, I called up my local sewing machine repair shop and decided to check my little lady in. I figure, If I am going to be in the hospital for 3-4 days then maybe I should let my sewing machine get her turn at the "sewing machine hospital". And you can imagine how thrilled I was to find that she was ready for pick-up this morning!!! Yippee Skippee!! The tech said she was "very, very, very dirty", emphasizing the very's :) I figured as much, I do what I can to keep her clean but she was overdue, to say the least, for her little tune-up.
So now we are all home, me, the baby, and my other little baby :) Welcome home Burnadette the Bernette Bernina. I can't wait to try her out during nap time :)
Yeah for a clean machine. . . I hope you enjoy nap time.
ReplyDeleteTune_ups can be very quick or very traumatic, I'm procrastinating as well... What do you think of your Bernadette? Have you seen the black Bernadette 46? I want one just because it's so cute!
ReplyDeleteOh, I've been putting this off for so long :-( I really hate to be without my machine.
ReplyDeleteI always schedule my tune-ups for vacations. Since I'm out of town, I won't need it! Sending it in while you have an adorable little baby sounds like a pretty good plan, too. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you've both survived your hospital visits - welcome home!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the baby and the sewing machine! I completely hate taking mine in as well.
ReplyDeleteI am the same way. The thought of spending one day without my sewing machine is painful. Recently it kinda "lit on fire" - AHHHHH It was in the shop for two weeks while they got in a new mainframe to replace the melted one! It was the longest saddest two weeks. I almost cried when I took it in to the shop and explained what happened.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are all home. Have a great nap time!!!
Mine is at leat 10 days to 2 weeks, I got so frustrated I went out and bought a spare, so now I have twins! Yayy for a clean, serviced and work ready manchine :)
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to part with them! =) Glad she's home safe and sound. =)
ReplyDeleteYep... I had to plan in carefully so that I dropped mine off the day we left for a 10 day vacation. It worked perfectly!! :) Glad yours got home pretty quickly!
ReplyDeleteI am going to have to take my Janome in too soon!
ReplyDeleteGlad you and the baby are doing fine.
ReplyDeleteThat's why I have 3 machines :)
ReplyDeleteI hate taking my sewing machine in. Even if I'm not using it, I want it at home so I can sew if I have the urge.

You are amazing Melissa.Already have the new bub in a sleeping routine with the others. Great!!
ReplyDeleteI also miss my machine when it goes for a service BUT I am lucky and now have my Mum's machine as a backup.
Congratulations on your new baby! (And on having your sewing machine serviced so quickly..)
