I successfully found a new bulb for my sewing machine at a local machine shop. I forgot to take a photo before putting it into the machine - not as easy as removing it - but by comparison to the photo of the old one, the new one is perfectly clear and you can see the filament that is in it. I was wondering if perhaps I shouldn't have purchased a spare as one never knows how hard it will be to find one after another 10-plus years!
I also thought I'd have been sewing by now, but am struggling to stay focused long enough to figure out which project I should work on. And so far today, I've only been attempting to clear an area in the garage for the stuff I brought back from the wet land that needs to be stored for now, and now I have a sinus headache from the dust stirred up from packing stuff up for charitable donations and moving a whole lot of empty boxes around.
Well, the day isn't over!
Maybe I'll re-tackle this one that I've had so many problems with.
I've been home for six days, and will be home until 10/13.
There has been no fabric in, nor out, since my last post - wow, that was a long time ago!
My
machine and table are back up and ready for action though. But what
did I notice as soon as I went to turn it on? The light bulb has burned
out! It's the first time since buying the machine that I've needed to replace the bulb. I've had the machine for probably 10+ years.
Look how small that bulb is! It's on my rotary mat and is barely an inch long and only 3/8" wide. Clearly I cannot steal the bulb from my other old monstrosi machines, so will have to see if a sewing machine shop locally has one.
Someone mentioned perhaps our Joann's sewing center may have them as Singer, Viking & Pfaff are all owned by the same company now; my machine is a Pfaff. I was wondering why, when I Googled it, I could only find it for Viking. For my birthday back in July I was given a Joann's gift card, so maybe I'll head there first.
Now, to clear off all the paperwork I've also been sorting through in my sewing room and pull out a project and get some sewing in while I'm home.
