She’s back!

​

Elly the elna is back from her hospital stay, and I couldn’t be more happy 

Although I had the spare machine it wasn’t the same. I tried to hem some stretchy Tshirts and I nearly lost my mind. 

Apparently having a  Walking foot helps 

Well you don’t say. My walking foot is in my quilting machine. 

Obviously I had to take her for a test drive so I chose a simple project 

I made towel toppers.  That very impressive tool is called a chop stick. It’s the very best thing to use to pop those corners out. 

Here they all are finished. I do still need to put the poppers on. I’ll do that in a few days. No rush. I think these will end up in the Christmas gifts basket 

The machine is sewing like she was brand new. Not bad for one that’s well over 15 years old. Best thing it only cost $160.00

Honestly if you live in the area. Get your machine to Craft Quarters in kooWeeRup. The machine man picks up all the patients and brings them back for collection 

If you live in the area drop off your sick machines and the machine doctor picks them up and then drops them back  while your there you might buy some pretty fabrics. They have so many to chose from 

I’ve already cut up the scraps for my hexies 

This will definitely be a long term project 

I won’t feel bad when I shift to something else in between working on it 

While I was in my craft room hubby was outside feeding the menagerie 

As you can see, they got stuck in 

We have a function on tonight, which I’ll tell you all about tomorrow 

Enjoy your day, create make a mess and have a great time doing it
