Pfaff machine at FQCR

During the FQCR in London we could use Pfaff machines.
They sewed really well, considering it's not your machine:
Where is the lever to get the needle down!
You know, just the simplest things and you might think : what a lousy machine this is!.
But it's not: it's just not the machine you're used to.

Even though I only worked with it one whole afternoon, I think it's a good, solid machine.
The electronics went funny at some time (overload), but that was perhaps due to the many different hand operating the machine? Switching it off and on again and everything was ok again!

Here's a picture from this website

My own Janome 6600 always gives me a different 0.25" seam.
It looked very much like the Pfaff always gave the exact same result sewing with the 0.25" feet: my seams were perfect!

OK near perfect ...

No sewing this week

My machine has broken down ....
There's still so much I want to do, but alas ...

This is a great opportunity to really dig into the Hexalong or other hand piecing work (like knitting?).
If you'd like to join in, please do!

Somewhere along these lines ...

Unfortunately it also means the quilt I'm working on, still isn't finished: I did more unpicking that I liked.
And If I'm lucky the repairman has just left for a 3-week holiday.
Well, we'll see.

What made me very glad last week was receiving my new purse & coin/card holder! And my phone fits easily in too!

Great buy from Octopurse: a Belgian lady making purses, very nice ones, too!
I also bought 2 small ones for my nieces in Canada. Technically they're not my nieces, but I call them that just to simplify.

I'm linking up with Lynne's Fresh Sewing Days.
(Is there anyone who can keep up with this girl!)

So not much new this week from me, how about you?
