It happened!

I bought this little machine 5 years ago to use on my scrapbooking layouts, it was perfect, easy to use and I think it only cost $200. Over the past few weeks I noticed that when I put my foot down on the pedal that sometimes nothing happened, it was like the power wasn't getting through, so I just gave it a bit of a jiggle and away it went. Yesterday afternoon no amount of jiggling would make my wonderful little machine go........a very sad moment!
Fortunately I have had this brand new machine sitting on my desk for the past 4 to 5 months. I didn't want to use it because that would mean that I would have to get familiar with all the computerised settings, the reverse button is in the wrong spot and it never stops exactly when I want it to! Cathy gave me a bit of a lesson when I bought it and I think I should have gone home and practiced what I was shown instead of going straight back to my old machine!

I am going to spend today giving it a go........I can see that there might be a bit of un-picking ahead of me until I master what I want to do, and because I don't want to throw this machine away I might see if I can get my hands on a new pedal for it.

The markets on the weekend went well, I sold alot of bunnies and a few other bits and pieces. I'm going to another one this weekend so I'm trying to get together just a few more goodies.......I suppose it all depends on how well I go on the new machine.

Thanks for stopping by.
