SUPER, SUPER FRUSTRATED RIGHT NOW

 


It is the last day of 2025, and it's started off with me feeling incredibly frustrated.

I tried using my 'spare' sewing machine last night, and it won't go!  OK, it GOES... in one spot.  It won't move the fabric forward, the needle just goes up and down in the same spot.

I've read up the instructions/troubleshooting, and nothing I do changes it.

So, I'm unable to sew for a full week, until the sewing machine shop opens up on the 5th!  I can't believe BOTH my machines are not working.

My baby one has literally had NO USE at all, and it now won't go?  WTF?

MASSIVE GRRRRRR.

There are a few other things I can do in the meantime, like cut out fat ladies, and their swimsuits etc.  But no sewing.

So that's what I shall do today, cut out fat ladies etc.

I have no idea what Stew will do with himself.  He has no hobbies, except anything to do with sport.  But usually not playing sport.  More like watching sport.

We talked about that yesterday, and I said he would have to get involved in some of the activities that are held in the village once he retired.  Retirement is still a while away yet though.  

He could make a start though, some of the activities are held over the weekends/evenings, so I'm going to encourage him to get involved.

Right, time to start the day.

Catch ya later.

    It sounds like you have accidentally turned off the feed dogs. Activate the machine, with a very small piece of scrap fabric and see if they are moving or still.

    My package has arrived! Lovely goodies! We have had ice, so I am not sure how long it has been out in the box. Your work is true quality. Thanks for all the fun things.

    Are the feed dogs down on the machine?

    Brother sewing machines have their feed dog switch on the back of the machine sometimes, check there.
