I think my new (haven't even made a payment yet) embroidery machine is broken! The needle keeps falling out while I try to embroider & the last time it came out it kind of wedged in there & things just don't look right. My store is closed on Sundays & Mondays too. 
When you embroidery your needle goes so fast that it works it way loose. Of course I wouldn't have any experience in this.
Good luck, hopefully it will work once you get things cleaned out.DisneyKings- You might try vacuuming the area (make sure your bobbin holder, etc is either secure, or out of the way. This should be able to help remove any bits of needle- I did this recently. Forgot what I did to scew it up in the first place...
I wanted to send a great big THANK YOU to all of your supportive comments, it means so much to me.Really, I'm so glad I am a part of this community and I know you really would come give me a hug if you could!!
My husband, who is not a morning person, but slept an inordinate amount of time this morning, I discovered when he finally woke up- my Mother had burdened him with the same information, I think he was dreading having to break the news, so I guess it's good I found it on my own.
This afternoon when my husband returned from the gym I handed Hannah to him (who has had an awful day and refused to nap all day!) and went and napped for an hour. Somehow that has always been my way of coping.
I have a Sewing TO DO LIST-
scallopini skirt for gift
tshirt to match
Patricia Tunic for my Mother
4 shirts for big give
I have a sewing wish list of projects too--reversible hooded jackets for both girls, heirloom style daygowns for summer for Hannah,etc.. Im thrilled to announce my St Patrick's simply sweet from last year fits Megan perfectly this year!!
I have a new Disney bookMousejunkies I just started, anyone else read this???
HeatherSue-(or was it Teresa) what kind of fabric did you use- I love the blue-green affect. Love the cap sleeves too!!
One more story- When Megan heard BOTH grandparents were coming for a "sleepover" (usually its just Mom) she said she and Hannah needed to wear dresses- she chose her St Patrick's day simply sweet (sparkly green) and Hannah had a smocked dress.....to greet Grampy in..
still need to fix red eye, and you can tell, Hannah was in a very quiet mood all afternoon- she is such a smiler, wished she would have here...

for what you're going through--it has to be very hard!Be sure and use a screwdriver to tighten you needle.
It would depend on who you were giving it too though, some Mom's might think it was too girly. I think the fabric you use would make a big difference. I should scan some of the pictures of Corey in his. 1.)It was both of us.1.)HeatherSue-(or was it Teresa) what kind of fabric did you use- I love the blue-green affect. Love the cap sleeves too!!

Heather bought the fabric, I sewed it, and Heather's daughter, Tessa, wore it! We just like to confuse people! 
It was a GORGEOUS iridescent (it changed colors too) taffeta type fabric. It was so pretty! I just loved cutting it out! All that gorgeous fabric spread across my table, I just wanted to wrap it around myself! 
Don't say only! No one can go to Disney just once!I have lurked here for awhile and have been inspired to create some things for our first and probably only trip to WDW this spring. An eon ago I posted this pattern, in hopes of a Minnie version, seen here.
I am currently working on a Lighting McQueen short set with an Epcot set, a Wall E set, Pooh placemats for Crystal Palace, and Placemats for 50's Primetime on the to do list.
I love these sets Nicole!Snow Snow and MORE SNOW! I have never seen so much snow! Couldnt leave the house so I caught up on a few things I have been wanting to do! Here are the results!!!
Thanks Janet! I was so upset with myself that I didn't make it the way I wanted to, but I think in the end, it turned out pretty. You can't go too wrong with gorgeous fabric and a pretty little girl!I haven't been keeping up with the thread much lately, but wanted to pop in for a moment.
NICOLE: I'm so sorry about your dad. I'm glad you have so much support here.
TERESA: Great job on Tessa's dress! It's BEAUTIFUL!
HEATHER: Your daughter looks amazing!
Tessa LOVED it, and so do I!! She kept saying "I look so pretty!" She couldn't stop running to the mirror to look at herself!
(Tessa doesn't have a dirty face, just a cold and red nose)
It's beautiful and so is Tessa! I love that fabric! She has great taste! That's a great photo of Henry and Tessa too!
My girls went to the dance on Friday night too and Drew got them both a corsage! They were super excited!
Well, I went into our Walmart last night and the fabric was close to gone! I thought I was going to cry! I went there for most of my fabric! I repeatedly asked them if they were going to close their fabric department and they always said no and then the fire happened so I don't know if that is why or if it was always going to be closed! I wish I would've had the opportunity to buy fabric on clearance.
Are the racks still there? Is there a chance they just had to get rid of most of it from the fire and are ordering more??? I've got 2 different ways of keeping my threads neat...and I don't claim to have created it myself because all my threads were inherited with the machine. The first and easiest is plain old scotch tape, with one end folded on itself for easy removal. The other is a vinyl wrap. I think they sell these, but what I've got is just the really thin stuff from JoAnn's. It sticks to itself when you stretch it around the spool. The black x's make it easier to find the end.
I finally started and finished the Stitch Dress.
This time she was speechless. She just kept smiling and couldn't talk.
