    Chicken door thoughts

    You'd be surprised at the abilities and agility of animals. I've seen on tv domestic dogs "escaping" their yards by climbing the fence (flat fence, not chain-link) It really depends what predators you have in your area as to who you have to worry about, but I wouldn't be assuming that...

    oh, that's good. I think the increased throat space is worth getting a new machine for, even before considering the other features. And the lighting, for sure. That's worth getting, too. How long until it arrives? It's exciting, living vicariously through you. :D

    Haven't you already done that? :) What does your new one have that the one you've been using doesn't? What are you looking forward to having that you've been doing without? I hope you like it. :)

    Nobody can. Maybe you'll find something local.

    Oh, I thought they forced you to have paypal. I wouldn't want to buy from such a seller. It sounds shonky.

    But how would it know how you intended to pay when you bid? doesn't that come up later on, if you win? (I haven't used ebay for ages and I've never used paypal, not sure how it works). Anyway, sorry you missed out. :(

    That's the thing, if you don't have the blue, you can't do anything using it. Can you order more? I don't think you could use a different fabric and make it "the same".

    yes, that's how the "rope" should go, IMO (the same size as it is in both directions). It's a shame you don't have any more of the blue to use in the corners.

    Try it with the green squares on the "north" and east" as the floral instead of the green, ie just one green square in the middle, how does that look?

    and BIG. These machines are quite substantial in size. Both ways, size and weight of the box means big bucks for shipping.

    They probably just compared it to the price of a new one....

    Do you have Mothers' Day over there? They might want it as a Mother's Day present so want it in a hurry?

    You would if you put it in now and jumped straight to the front - they'll only have bid less, either as a limit or as a single bid. You just need to hope that there's no other "you" out there who really wants it too who appears at the end. Do they still allow sniping programs to access Ebay...

    Ongoing Quilt Projects, Continued from the "No Appreciation...." Thread

    Yes, some people watch and wait and try to snipe at the end. You have a good idea of the value, so you won't get caught out if there's a "bidding war" towards the closing time. You never know, you could get lucky.

    and it's a removable item, not part of the machine, that's no biggie, IMO. Go for it. I can say that (maybe, sort of) the "equivalent" (ie with the big table and more of the "bits and bobs) current model here (the MC9400QCP) which is now on sale is selling for $3999AU, so to get that level of...

    Does it show photos of the "abrasions" on the foot pedal cord? are they superficial "scuffs" or hunks out of the plastic coating? With the latter, you could be looking at having to replace the foot pedal. How does one break a spool holder? If there's a non-worrying reason for that, ok. From...

    Yes, they both appeared at the concert. Ringo just got a knighthood not long ago. Others at the concert are dead too, now, like Tom Petty and Billy Preston. Sad, really. :( I haven't seen any of the hunger games movies yet. I must get around to it one of these days.

    Yes, her name is Ruth Wilson, but there doesn't seem to be a movie like that on her IMDb page? I haven't seen Deadpool 1 yet, I've got it reserved at the library, I hope it becomes available soon, so I can watch it and then see the new one. Yesterday, I went to the pictures to see "Concert for...

    How do they do it?

    Yes, I think a lot of people overlook the real costs because they don't add up all of the "odds and sods" that you really need. You'll get there, it'll be worth it in the long run. HD won't let you take things from the dumpster because of liability issues, but have you asked whether they could...
