magazines. It is frequently oiled, dusted, polished, and pampered at the
spa (my local dealer’s workroom) and comes back to me humming like—
you guessed it—a well-oiled machine. I don’t know what I’d do without it.
So why would I need a new machine? I don’t. What I do need is a “loaner”
machine. You know, a “spare” that I can haul around in my car, set up
at the local elementary school, or use to teach a newbie how to make a
perfect ¼" seam or quilt in the ditch. Having an extra machine would be a
luxury, and save me from worrying about damaging the valuable tool I use
so frequently for my work and for my art.
This “need” became apparent this summer as I taught my 16-year-old
son how to drive a car with a manual transmission. Ugh. On our first
few outings, at every stop sign, he was grinding gears. The car stalled,
hiccupped, and sputtered around corners. The rules of the road might
have been followed to the letter, but coordinating a clutch, gas pedal, and
gear shift all while “looking cool” were nearly impossible in the first few
hours of learning. Luckily, we borrowed his sister’s car with a well-worn
clutch and more rust than paint. Nothing could hurt that car! What a
luxury—to be able to practice without the fear of ruining the mechanics of
his parents’ cars.
That same week I taught a friend how to piece her first quilt. Needles
were broken and a few tears were shed, but she got the hang of it pretty
quickly. I would have loved to loan her my machine for practice, but I
needed it for work.
With that in mind, I recently went to a local sewing machine shop on a
mission. Yes, I wanted a new machine. No, I didn’t want one with all of
the bells and whistles, just something I was comfortable with and one
that would get the job done. And to my surprise, they had just the right
machine for me—a 12-year-old beauty of the same make and model that
lives a storied life in my studio.
So now I am the proud owner of two machines: identical twins. The first
is still my favorite because we’ve been through so much together. But its
new pal is enjoying traveling to shows and filling in when the other is in
the shop. Best of all, I can use the spare machine for teaching and loaning
… a wonderful luxury!
Best,

IT
IS TIME FOR A NEW MACHINE
.
Not that mine has passed
its prime—far from it. My
trusty machine has served
me well for the past 12 years.
It has sewn numerous pillows,
patched jeans, hemmed an
occasional prom dress, and
replaced zippers. It’s been
instrumental in mixed-media
art projects, and sewn through
photographs, leather, newsprint,
and cardstock. But mostly, this
workhorse has been my quilting
companion. I use it nearly every
day for work as I test patterns or
create projects for the pages of our
