sewing machine in for service

I finally managed to get enough stuff completed such that I could get my machine in for service and not but too much pressure on myself when it's returned to get things done on time!

Now I feel bereft, what do I do with myself, how to I occupy myself in the time I would have spent sewing!

I'm also questioning whether it is really worth doing, the machine is a lowish model, it's selling at about 300 dollars now, though I think was more like 400 when it was given to me and the service will cost around

100. Though if I were to replace it in the near future, I'd probably only have a similar amount to spend, if I wait a year or so, hopefully I'll have a higher budget for one.

Keeping it in good condition will benifit you in the long run. You can keep it, for a back up machine, after you buy your new one and then you won't have to have any down time as you will be used to sewing on it when you send your new one in for service. It also is sometimes helpful to have two machines set up to sew different thread colors when that becomes necessary. Remember, you can never have too many sewing machines.

A machine that was well cared for and serviced will bring more when you go to sell it.

I also think having more than one machine is a plus...you can keep one set up for a particular task and have the other free for something different 'on the fly.'

Now, Anne, you love to quilt, right?

And surely it is more fun if the machine is in good nick, since it is less likely to be temperamental, make noise or whatever.

And what the others said about backup is true too.
