Musical Seamstress

Today was going great! Got an emergency prom dress repair done this morning. Spent some time with Alan and Phill. I decided to get the embroidery machine going to get customer projects going.
This is where the good day ended.
The glass behind the LCD display, we believe this is what’s wrong, stopped working. Since this machine is around 10-15 years old, I’m not able to get the replacement part.
eBay has some but they come from China. Don’t know if I can trust if it will work when I get the part.
Don’t know what I’m going to do. I have 12 hats, about 200 patches, dish towels, a sweatshirt, and other stuff to do.
I don’t have many options right now. I’m looking at anywhere from $8,000-12,000 for a new machine. Unless someone is generous enough to get one as a gift for me, that is not an option. Another used one? How long is that going to last me? This one was a gift to me from a friend who wasn’t using it.
Anyway, I’m going to let you go.

A project I finished. A well loved sweater that had a hole in the elbow. The customer knew that when I repaired the hole, it would be very noticeable after repairing. Customer decided to add elbow patches. So, after I repaired the hole, I added suede elbow patches. I put my hand embroidery skills in use and hand sewed the elbow patches on.

Happy New Year! Here’s hoping everyone has a safe and fun day, but most importantly, a much better year. Cheers to 2026, be kind!

I also want to thank everyone who has supported and stood behind me and this business this past year. It has meant so much to me.

Have a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Happy Holidays, Happy Kwanza, and however you celebrate this time of the year.
Have a wonderful day, several days, etc.
