I’m grateful for … being fluff-free


Now get your naughty minds out of the gutter!

I’m talking about my sewing machine, Betty. Poor Betty has been a little bit over worked and under maintained of late. She’s been tough and hasn’t complained… too much.

Yesterday, before starting some quilting, I gave her a de-fluffing. Yes, it’s a technical term Winking smile

Now, my lovely Betty, runs so much more smoothly and is ready for new projects.

What are you grateful for today?

  2. Poor Betty! I'm glad she got the spa treatment - it looked like she really needed it. Hope she's feeling much better. I actually did some de-fluffing earlier today, but I was unaware of the technical term at the time. :-)

  7. Oh my goodness!! That is A LOT of fluff. My machine won't go that long, it starts sounds like a freight train and I know it's time to clean her.

  8. I had to wind yet another bobbin yestrday and thought I'd better give Jan her first clean out! I was stunned at how much had built up in just seven weeks!

    But poor Betty! She had put on a bit of extra weight, hadn't she?

  9. I'm afraid the "fluff free" comment went right over my head! Lost in translation, I guess, because I can't imagine how that can put anyone's mind in the gutter!
    That was a lot of "lint" (as we say around here)! Reminds me that I need to do that same! Thanks!

  10. I too defluffed my machine the other day. They do apprecite the TLC. I took my other machine to be serviced before taking to a class and the guy asked how often I cleaned my machine ( Defluffed ) my response was "next question." I do it on a regular basis now as the new machine was much more expensive. That is some impressive fluff! Glad I'm not the only one to have a fluffy machine. You make me smile so grateful for your posts
