The Saga Continues

Here I thought I was doing so good on Christmas.  Shopping almost done,  lots of orders for embroidery I was working on.   Well, in the middle of November my machine started acting up.    I had plenty of time for orders, I said to myself.   I'll take it in and get it serviced, it's ready for it's annual check up anyway.    So,  I took it in and during the 10 days it was in the shop my 2nd machine started acting up.    No problem I said.    Picked up first machine from shop.   All serviced and ready to go.   Took my second machine in to have it cleaned and serviced.    As I started sewing on things I need to get done, btw I have over 50 items, my machine started acting up.   This is the one I just got serviced.  It just kept getting worse and worse.

Well,  took the 1st machine in to the shop to have it looked at.  He promised he'd get right on it, and oh by the way, my second machine has now been in the shop for 8 days and is still waiting it's turn in line.   Bad news.    My machine needs a part that they have to order.   4-7 days.  OMG, are you kidding me.   I'm really starting to stress now.  So here I sit with over 50 items that need to be stitched up before Christmas and I am minus 2 machines.   Never in my wildest dreams.

I did talk to one customer today and informed her I wouldn't get it done this week.   She wanted it by Wednesday.  Not  a problem,  I'll just get it when you get it done.    Hope everyone else is that understanding.   I have every intention of getting everything done.........................all I need is a machine.

Guess I will get busy wrapping presents.   At least my shopping is done!
