I think I trashed my sewing machine by trying to fix it....

DH is staying away !!!!!!!!!!!!

Good thing, he has been sitting in here watching COPS & other stupid shows with screaming & people getting hurt on skateboards & other awful TVs shows guys like.........

I hate those shows!
Kids hanging onto cars while riding skateboards & then they fall off & get hurt...   and most guys laugh!

Ok, not a good day for fixing anything here, and I spent the whole day trying & not getting any work done

Robin, what brand or make is your sewing machine?

should it happen to be a Singer, there are several groups on the internet, dedicated to vintage Singer sewing machines (or other makes), and many of them feature people who have taken classes in "how to fix them" -- I know there are several of them in Olympia but seems to me there was one in Hoquiam ...

you might get better advice from a hobbyist, rather than a professional shop ...

also there are often postings on "how to fix" various common problems

I wish we were closer, I have several machines surplus to my needs (mostly straight-stitch machines, though I might have a zigzagger or two)

I have only one Purina bag; my usual game-bird feed comes in paper bags rather than plastic .... if I'm not here for the next meet up, I will pass it along to someone who IS going, to relay to you

So for the last several days we have been hearing these odd whining noises...DH comes in the house and says he has heard it again.
I go outside & listen...everyday for about 4 days now.
I figure he is talking about some sort of bird, a sharp high pitched whine noise.
Finally I hear it today.........mean while Jack is going ballistic.
See, we are completely surrounded by thick woods.
Past the chicken pens is woods so thicj you can barely walk through.
Guess what the sharp chirpy noises are ???
Give ya a clue : There was an awful lot of brush crackling every so often but not every time.

He was thinking weasels ?
Not a racoon, DH has raised pet raccons and that is not their noise........
ha ha ha.

CL. Yep, you can just down load that if you want. I was hoping you'd get the whole meal deal. Lot of great cleaners, restore, uninstall, type of apps

That means you will not be coming to the Monroe show?
Be in Hawaii?Hope
U R feeling better & stay well.
My machine is a Singer, a new one.I wore o
ut my old one, seriously wore it out.It w
as ALL metal so I went & bought a new one..PLASTIC gears, top load bobbin that is impossible to clean.......NOT user friendly!I have to
take a screw driver to it for 15 minutes just to change a light bulb !!

I am missing my old one, front load bobbin...easy to get to & never collected dust...flip the top & there is the light bulb...easy to adjust bobbin & top thread tension.....this post{puter} cannot keep up with my typing.
I have to stop & waite to see what I typed.
I think I am going to abscond my Mother's Husqvarna, but she'd freak if she knew I was sewing feed bags with it.
I thought about cutting the bags open & making a Teepee...LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!
DH said it would be way too noisey in the wind!!

And ya went right by and didn't say hi! ! ! I see how it is

I know, I so wanted to see everyone on the way down but with the snow heading our way I was a little afraid to stop to long. And I know what we are all like when we get together.

So far as I can see, when you download the free version , what you get it a test to see what "it" can find...so I did downlaod the free version & it tested & told me I have tons of free disc, short on RAM & V Mem, no spyware/trogens/malware/etc. and for more, I need to buy the software.Maybe they
do not give away the whole kit & kabboodle anymore ?

No one wants to guess what the noises are ???
