It literally fell out of my machine and fell on the piece of fabric I was sewing. Not good. So not good!
My machine now resides at the repair shop. Thank goodness there is one in Banbury. The man said it would most likely take until the end of next week. Then he saw my face. He said he would try to look at it tomorrow, order the necessary parts and have it back to me as soon as possible. That could still be next week, couldn't it?!
I am about to miss several deadlines. I hate that.

Nightmare! Hope he is quick!
ReplyDeleteI don't even know what that is. But hopefully it will be an easy fix. Perhaps you could ask the repair man if he could give you a loaner while your machine is in the shop so you don't miss your deadlines.
ReplyDeleteIf it doesn't rain it pours!
ReplyDeletelooks nasty !!
ReplyDeletelooks serious !!hopefully not terminal !!
ReplyDeleteFeckity feck!! Fingers crossed you get it back soon!
ReplyDeleteI too will cross fingers for you. My heart almost stopped yesterday when mine made a HORRIBLE noise...which turned out to be a warning that a needle was going to break.
ReplyDeleteno, no, no! Do they have a loner machine? Do you have a friend you can rendered unconscious for a week? Too bad you are so far away, I have a second machine since I got the new beast for Christmas. I'm thinking good thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI echo Di`s thoughts - can`t they loan you a machine? The repairers loaned my mum one last year while hers was in for repairs...may be worth a phone call. So sorry - I know how gutting this is!x
ReplyDeleteUh oh - do you know what it is? years ago I was doing some servicing of my machine and there used to be this knob that you pushed to one side and it would stop you from over filling a bobbin when winding thread on to it. Well I somehow detached this knob and dropped it down inside the machine and er - I couldn't get it out - I never have been able to. I wonder if one day it will fall out of my machine or if one day it'll just completely b****er my machine up :-)
ReplyDeleteYou can come to my house to sew, it just is a such a long way. Neighbours? Rental machine? Maybe he can fix it right away.

ReplyDeleteOh I am feeling your pain! We all wish we could drop by with our 'spare' machine!!! Definitely see if you can get a loan of one- you'll stress yourself out not being able to sew and meet your deadlines!
ReplyDeleteMy old machine wouldn't be any use to you anyway - it's go a limp and it's knicker elastic has gone. Don't know what I'll do when my new one needs a service

ReplyDeleteOh arse! I'd lend you Little Brother if you were closer, but the fuel costs to get her might buy you a new low end machine o.O
ReplyDeleteOh, so sorry. It will be okay though. I'm sure your fellow swappers understand that sometimes life gets in the way of the fun.
ReplyDeleteOh no!! What is it?!! Hope you can find a spare machine somewhere - it's a pity it didn't happen before you went away, you could have detoured via my house and borrowed my old one...maybe you could sit in the window of the repair shop and sew on one there?!
ReplyDeletePoor you poor machine. Hopefully the repair man will be able to work his magic quickly. Di xo
ReplyDeleteSounds like you could do with a wee back-up machine, even a cheapy that the girls could play on. Jxo
ReplyDeleteOh nooooo what a pain (thats what I'm saying in public but not the version I'm thinking ;) )
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed it doesn't take forever! Wish I could lend you my spare too.
It's never good when something falls out of or off your body or your sewing machine.
ReplyDeleteI remember being sewing machine-less for two weeks once and it drove me nuts.
I sincerely hope your sewing machine guy read the desperation in your eyes and fixes it double quick!
I have a spare if you need it, but can only get it to you Saturday pm or Sunday. You're very welcome if it comes to that :)
ReplyDeleteThey are all so polite!
ReplyDelete'Oh Bollocks' I say!!
I'm with Flying Blind on this one! Why oh why can't it happen just before you go away so it can sit in the repairers when you weren't going to be using it....It does look like a very essential part. :-(
ReplyDeleteShitter.
ReplyDeleteOn the plus side, I have something that will make you smile. It will be on its way to you tomorrow x
Oh heavens...would have scared me to death!!
ReplyDeleteOh sweetie! The bestie leaving is bad enough, but the sewing machine dropping bits is just a kick in the gob.... Got my fingers crossed for you that it fixes fast. Big hugs. xx
ReplyDeleteoh no! fingers crossed you get it back soon!!
ReplyDelete:(
ReplyDeleteSo sad - both the end of your visit and your poor sewing machine. Fingers crossed it's nothing serious and your baby will be back with you very soon.
I can feel your pain, hugs and hope you get your machine back before your next tear falls!
ReplyDeletetotal nightmare I empathise totally! I would have gotten the fright of my life if that dropped out my machine. My nearest repair guy is Ayr so a fair wee jaunt for me if mine goes kaputt! Hope he gets it sorted sooner rather than later x
ReplyDeleteAww... Sorry to hear your machine won't be there as a pick me up after your friend has to leave. I hope it gets fixed quickly!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm sorry. I hope it will be fixed much sooner than next week. Keeping my fingers crossed.
ReplyDeleteWow. Look at that stinker just sitting there. It's one of those weirdo things that we couldn't even guess what it does....or even try to fix it. How you kept your cool in the shop I will never understand.
ReplyDeleteoh no thats rubbish - what is it anyway?
