Complete....

So the stitch selector no longer shows up very well,

and there is actually a little wire doodad missing from here,

she may be wearing an old bit of tape from a long ago reminder

and she has the odd ding and scratch from the time she did a triple somersault off the back seat of the car

but she is home


and she completes me.

  16. How nice. Now you can put away the 'Temazapam' and Valium' and your family and co-workers can come out of their respective hiding places ;-)

  17. Yikes! A triple somersault off the back seat of the car?!! Clearly, as sewing machines go, that's one tough old bird. She can be excused an illness now and then. Also that smitten kitten can go back to exploring. By the way, hope you have some wine in too.

  22. So glad the patient is back from the horsepiddle. I was worried about you and your sanity. Well, I know you don't have the full quote of sanity anyway, but you know what I mean.

    Oh and in case you think I'm insulting you - you have waaaaaay more sanity than me, so I'm a fine one to talk.

  23. You are so kind to yours. My old girl, Ms Jones, is getting really arthritic, and I asked Santa for a new one. Now I feel mean. If you want to take a look at the mean letter you can view on my blog. (Not too subtle plug there sorry)
    Glad that place in your heart is filled once more!!! :)

  27. Oh my sewing machine is my best friend and a gift years ago from the Grammy who taught me to sew! I can't bear the thought of ever bing without my sewing machine-so I know what you mean!There just is no replacement.
    I too was missing that same dobob thingy but thanks to a repairman it is back! Happy sewing!

  30. Alrighty then! What's next?? My first thought was the same as Griffin's. A triple somersalt off the back seat? AAK. I hope the cat wasn't in the car to hear those words.

  31. It is not about quantity, but quality and this baby obviously has it in spades.

  32. Its sew easy with a Janome!!, I know how you feel. It could sit idle for weeks, but the minute it needs a service, You feel like your arm has been cut off.. PS.. Go the doll patterns, I would buy one for sure..and its true, you have the wackiest word verifications.. almost dejavu like!

  33. I have the very same machine!! I do love it but also miss my old new Home model 444. a heavy duty work horse but I just could not lift it any more. I am sorry you hear you cannot see the stitch selector very well, I can hardly see mine now!!

    ReplyDelete
  34. I have a Janome QC too...but a newer computerized one...I love, love, love it....

  35. While my machine has no name (and I need to correct that soon), she was in the shop for her tune up and I needed to do a lot of sewing on a loaner. I felt lost and out of sorts until my baby was home again.

    Glad you've been reunited.

  36. We sewers do have a personal relationship (love/hate) with this little lady, don't we? I used to have model MUCH older than this one...... :-)

    Warm blessings,
