Posted on February 13, 2008 by quiltpaintcreate

My husband dropped off my sewing machine at the dealer’s Monday.  I hated parting with it, but it wasn’t running right.  Something in the upper tension catches, causing a grinding noise and making the hand wheel difficult to turn.  I … Continue reading →
