Sewing Machine Spa Day

 

Wednesday I hosted another Sewing Machine Spa Day

October 2019 Sewing Machine Spa Day

... as I have done in the past in this photo.

If you live in Rhode Island, Massachusetts or eastern Connecticut

and want to have a sewing machine spa day in your home,  call or contact ...

Antony also does sewing machine service repair days at quilt shops in this area.

Third Generation Repairman Anthony's Sewing Machine Service & Repair Provides Sewing Machine Service & Repair, In-Home Sewing Machine Repair Service, And Service For All Makes & Models Of Sewing Machines To The Lincoln, RI Area.

This is my friend Helen's 50 year old Sears Kenmore.

What a solid, heavy duty machine.

It is humming along like new after it's spa treatments.

You can see in the background of this photo how the shelves in my sewing corner 

are empty so they can be moved during our floor renovation project. 

Next up was my 20 year old Brother XR-65 machine

which has been in its box in one of my closets for the last 12 years.

I made many quilts on this machine and even quilted bed sized quilts on this baby.

How I did this with that 9-inch throat space is now a mystery to me.

For the last 12 years I have been using this workhorse off a machine ... 

my Janome MC600p.

I love this machine. 

I thought it might have had to go back to Anthony's Repair Shop 

to be taken apart and to have parts replaced

 and I was going to be using the XR-65 as a back-up machine.

The computerized parts of this machine have never given me any issues,

but mechanically it was not longer producing the perfect even stitches

 that I have come to expect.

Fortunately, Anthony was able to open up the tension unit

 and adjust it manually and it is working like a charm now.

My Janome is back under it's cover now 

and is going back into the other room for awhile 

so we can finish the home improvement project.

I hope to se sewing my Scrappy Irish Chain Quilt again soon.

So no Scrappy Saturday Sewing for me today.

So Sewing Machine Spa Day was a big success.

Oh, Happy Day!

May you have a happy and safe weekend!
