The last thing I did at 6:15pm was get on my marks, get set, and git to taking out my sewing machine. When I took it out it was still messed up from sewing the fleece so I actually spent the whole 20 min. trying to figure out (with manual in hand) how to thread the machine (Someone said in a comment taht if you just re-thread it that usually works all the kinks out). Well, it worked, although the big dial is still feeling stiff. I read in the manual that if the feed is not smooth you should dust the insides and re-oil.  Here we go again with the stuff I don't know how to do. I tried sewing on it and it worked fine. It sounded a little rough but the stitch was good so I just counted my blessings and figured if it 'ain't broke, don't fix it. I'm really dreading having to oil the thing. First off I don't have any machine oil (will Canola work?). Secondly, this thing has so many little parts. Aside from having to take it all apart I hope I don't oil something I'm not supposed to.... or I could just get in my prayer closet and give the whole matter to God since He's the One who wants me to sew in the first place. I think I like that last suggestion better.

     I did listen to what you said, Kellyque777. My digi camera is in need of a recharge (it's charging as I'm writing this) and I have everything laid out to take pictures of it for you. I have to warn you though. What I just did looks R-O-U-G-H!!!! Hope it gets you motivated anyway. Maybe I'll make a contest out of it to help you along, Kelly. How does, 'Can You Top This?', sound?
