There's a great place in Ireland that picks it up and drops it off for you, so I'm happy to ring them and leave her on the front step while I'm not in the house. Poor poor you, Miss S.

But lately I found a super nice sewing-machine-mechanic that charges affordable prices so I might give my machines away more often.

(I hope she enjoyed her orange cake)<br /><br />I'm ashamed to say that I received my sewing machine as a 21st birthday pressie, I'm 33 now and it still hasn't had a service. In fact, last year was the first time I took the plate up to clean underneath! I do plan on getting the Juki (bought from Troods last year) serviced annually.

I clean it at least once a week too. This does remind me that I should get it done while I am away after next week. I think I might be able to book an appointment if I get on it soon.
