Sewing machines HATE MY SOUL
The Janome Gold that Mom lent me is busted. I broke two needles on it and it won't pick up on a zig-zag stitch. I rage quit after about an hour of cursing. What's sad is that I was only making garment cases out of old sheets. So now I have to find out about getting it serviced. While I'm at it I should see about getting my Kenmore fixed up as well. *sigh* WHY?!? Of course the timing is PERFECT since I'm on the verge of selling one of my bigger pieces, so I'll have an extra $200 coming in soon. I would have rather put it towards a bill, or perhaps even the satin I need for Nehelenia but I guess sewing machines are just as good. I'm being terribly sarcastic btw.
So instead of sewing up Telma's apron I instead watched three hours of documentaries on exploitation movies from the 70's. Did you know that many were made in the Philippines? The more you know...
Ichiban will now be a mellow affair for me. I'm not totally upset though since now there's no stress on me, assuming I remember the booze. I plan on getting lightly toasted with friends. I've found a new affection for something called 'chocolate cake shots'. Oddly enough they start with sugared lemons.
Anyway I'm going to shut up now because I'm starting to lose track of thoughts. I also have to get up at 5am. Wee.

However, I plan to upgrade to a Singer Heavy Duty 4423 soon. If you haven't seen it, check out these demos. Want!

My sewing machine was munching on fabric the other day. It wasn't actually sucking it down into the bobbin area, but it was heavily feeding it through and actually making a munch-munch-munch sound. I fiddled with all the knobs a doo-dads, but it kept on munching. Nearly drove me batty! Never did figure it out, but the finished product turned out fine. MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH.

Sounds like it needs a good cleaning.

Ok, I knew that. I'm just reeeeeaaaally bad about it. Same for my hair clippers. But, to my credit, I'm really GOOD at getting my car's oil changed! Maybe I need to put little vinyl stickers on my mirror- "Next sewing machine clean- 800 stitches" or "Next clipper oiling- 8 hair cuts."
Hmmm. I've got a three-day weekend coming up, that seems like a good time for a sewing room overhaul! I can CLEAN ALL THE THINGS!!

I need to do a massive spring cleaning too, but I'm lazy. XD
