I awoke at 4:15 AM. Since I could not enter another sleep cycle, I got up, motivated by the fact that we don't have to pay for our internet usage before 0500. We have a dish and have almost maxed out our usage. We recharge tomorrow and are perilously close to the slowdown. We never lose connectivity. It just S L O W S W A Y D O W N.
Our department is providing gifts for a local family. The thirteen year old girl wants a sewing machine. I have just the one for her.
It came with a home made, plywood, weighs a ton carrying case. I think I will make a tote for it instead.
I have the quilt frame set up with some cute winter fabric. It is a practice piece but I could use it for the tote. Think I will.
It looks a little like the Kenmore 1040. Is it the same size? I gave my niece a Spartan a while back in a heavy canvas tote and that worked well. Hope your early rising doesn't mean slow down about 3. Trying to get binding done for 4 comfort quilts. A friend of mine long armed them on her Gammill for me.
ReplyDeleteGreat gift for that young lady.
ReplyDeleteThinking about the 1040, and then wondering: when did machines start having the narrow bed? That was the BIG selling point for the Elna I bought in 1977; being able to go around a sleeve or collar was Da Bomb for me (and I dumped the perfectly good Singer 600E my mom let me have). It's still a feature I treasure, and makes my 1040 a little less sexy to work with at home.
