RIP, bertha. ::sigh::

[Aisling]

I killed my sewing machine, trying to sew through too many layers of fabric.:sigh Something *thumped*, and now, the wheel in the back turns, but the needle doesn't go up and down. :cry

Everyone mourn with me. I haven't the funds to replace her atm. :sigh :candle

[Blue Savannah]

Are you sure she's dead? Maybe she's just mostly dead.


You need to live closer. My husband fixed my old sewing machine so many times it was frustrating. . . for me. I was ready for a new one. :giggle Bertha might be a simple fix. :shrug3

[Aisling]

Ohhhhh.....


So, if I ask her what's worth living for, and pump her with billows, step on the peddle, she might whir: "your dauuughter's bunnnnnting for Chrrriiiiiistmas!" :haha Or, "to blave". :roll

Should I just take a screwdriver to her? Spouse could fix her, I'm fairly confident, if I could get her open. :think As long as nothing's actually *broken* in there.

[Blue Savannah]

:giggle To blave is a powerful force.

It's absolutely worth a shot. :yes They seem to be fairly simple inside. Mine don't have computers, etc., though.

Mine was magically resurrected after a trip to the sewing-machine fix-it guy.

You could always try searching for your make's guide on google.

[Aisling]

Yeah, mine's super basic with no computer, so it should be an easy fix, theoretically! :pray4

[StumblinMama]

Aww I hate to hear that. I have two sitting here unused that I"d be happy to give you if you were a tad closer. If you post what make/model I can do some digging and see if it's a repair you can do at home.

[Aisling]

I might as well try, anyway...the repairs would likely be more than it's actually worth in a shop. :lol

[Forsynthianicki]

Mine did a similar thing once. I wish I could remember what it was that I did, but it was fixable :D Hoping that yours is too.

[Aisling]

I FIXED IT!!!!! :jump2 I'm way too embarrassed to say how easy it was! But it's FIXED! :mrgreen :phew

[StumblinMama]

YAY!!! :jump2 :jump :jump2 :jump

[BriansLovie]

oh no, sorry :(

[Marzipan]

<3 yay!!!

[Blue Savannah]

My friend, you need to edit your last post.

"Wow! I fixed my sewing machine! Look at me!"


Or something like that. :giggle

[crunchymum]

just remember to be gentle... when you've been mostly dead all day (even if you're a fast healer) one may need some time. ;)

[swimming with sharks]

It's ok....once you pull that GIANT ball of string out of there it goes really well again!! :heart I'm glad you fixed it...you should stomp around singing in a goofy voice I fixed it I fixed it!!!! and roar a lot!! :yes

[StumblinMama]

:poke Whatcha sewing? :shifty
