Human Error and an Update

I want to start this post with the Human Error portion...

Last week I posted that I would have to take my sewing machine back to my sewing machine dealer because it was jamming.  Well it hit me that maybe I should give them a call to see if my machine was still under warranty since it was just a year old.  

I spoke to the store proprietor and he told me to sit in front of my machine and follow his instructions.  Of course, I was at work when I called but I wrote down what he said and went home to try it.  He was confident that this would make the machine work and said that if I wanted to bring it in to be looked at that he would do that. He also said that he wouldn't charge me unless a part was involved then I would need to pay for the part.  

I moved the 8900 back into place.  Followed the instructions and of course the machine worked.  Basically I was doing something wrong and he told me how to correct it.  My sewing machine is working fine...it was just HUMAN ERROR.

The moral of this tale ~ is that a good sewing machine dealer is worth their weight in gold!!!

I know I mentioned earlier this month that my daughter (my personal photographer) was nearing the end of a very difficult pregnancy.  Well her third child was born yesterday morning at 8:58am, after a labor and delivery that was very hard.
  
This is Samantha Meghan who weighed 7lbs, 9 oz. and is 19" long.  They are calling her Sammi...

...and of course here I am the proud Nana holding my second granddaughter! She looks exactly like her mother did when she was born.

My daughter says that this is the last child for them and I believe her.  This one was so hard to bring into the world and they are now outnumbered three children to two parents.

...as always more later!
