The Sewing Mom

I have designed a small name badge for each of us to wear at our booth next week.  I created the design on my embroidery software and have transferred it to my sewing machine.  It really should be a very simple thing to create.

Instead, I spent 4 hours fighting with my embroidery/sewing machine.  The machine would tell me what size hoop to use, I would place that hoop on the machine and would tell me I was wrong.  I battled with it until I couldn’t take it anymore.

I am concerned that perhaps the embroidery arm of my machine has somehow gotten out of whack.  There is a sensor inside that tells it which hoop is attached and I’m not sure it’s reading it correctly.  This could be a costly repair.  I think I will be taking the entire machine to the store and ask them to look at it.

I really need my machine this week, so if it needs to be sent off for repair,  it will have to wait.  I can still sew on it, I just can’t embroider.
