Sewing REALLY derailed
Mar. 12th, 2015 11:31 pmI needed to wind a bobbin so I turned the knob on the flywheel so it wouldn't run the needle and then heard a weird noise like something fell. Couldn't see anything so tried to wind the bobbin but it didn't work. I looked at the wheel again and noticed that it looked not right, also saw the part that fell off. Tried to investigate a little more by turning the wheel and a bunch of things just fell off. Not good.
A plastic piece in the middle of the wheel that held in a spring and some other stuff broke off. The machine is my mom's and is over 30 years old and was a top-of-the-line Pfaff when she bought it. We're hoping it can get a replacement part to be fixed, but my mom says that if it's too expensive she's just going to get a new machine. It's both annoying and sad. Annoying because it puts a monkey wrench in my sewing. I have another machine, but it just doesn't run as well. Sad because we've had that machine for so long and it's always worked really well.
I'm going to have to pull out my other machine because now I REALLY need to finish my friend's nursery sewing. Her blood pressure went through the roof the other day and she is going to be induced next week. Luckily I happened to get a start on it all this week and am nearly done. I was half done the very last item when I ran out of thread. Argh.
