Well, I took my FW to Moye's Sewing this morning full of dread and anxiety. I had every intension of staying and watching the atomic scientist/dry sort of man service it, but he seemed annoyed at the very suggestion and explained that he had 'too much going on' (I exaggeratedly looked around the empty, though immaculate, store with my eyebrow raised and he explained that there were 10 other machines ahead of me - a likely story!!). Anyway, although he clearly did not like me much, he liked the machine. He immediately noticed the thread take up spring was too loose (which I gave myself a mental pat on the back for knowing already) and that for the price of $68.50 he would completely take the machine apart, clean, and replace any and everything that needed attention. All that and a 90 day warranty. SOLD!
It will be ready for pick-up tomorrow, but unless my dear husband is willing to go get it for me, I am afraid she wont be home until monday. If it comes to that, I will be eagerly waiting at the door at 9am sharp!
So it will be another few days before my sew-stravaganza begins but I feel a profound sense of relief that the FW is getting the tune-up she deserves. Mr 'Dry/Atomic' told me that he won't return it to me until it is 'sewing perfectly'. Yep, that sounds good to me.
'Bob' the nice man who sold me the machine is even willing to pitch in and refund some of the money I paid to cover the expense of this little fix-up. I am feeling pretty optimistic about the whole thing.
Note to self:
I want to spend some time reading THIS info ab cloth allowance because I was just contemplating this concept the other day and it was tying my brain in knots.
