My friend Dino

I received a phone call out of the blue the other day that I was happy to receive. It wan Montavilla calling to let me know that my machine wqas ready to be picked up- the service repair was complete. I was taken aback. I had thought that I traded it in, and had regretted doing so. When I called to get it back, the owner had told me that he had already repaired it and sold it. I was pretty bummed. But! The good news is that he was mistaken. It had not yet been sold, and I still had the ticket for repair. I now have 4 sewing machines! Crazy! Here is a picture of the lovely Dino, my old dinosaur (he gets his name from the rurrawruh noise when he sews).



Not the prettiest machine- a little blocky, but works great, overall. I'm keeping the Janome because that's fun, too. It is just a different animal. More like a rabbit. I have not decided on a name for it yet.

Just to clear things up- I received a call from the other owner telling me that the machine was ready to be picked up. I said, "that's crazy, I just talked to Jason the other day about that machine. Are you sure? The Pfaff Varimatic 6091?" Then I asked her what the bill would be, and she said that there was no balance. I was not trying to be "crafty." Maybe it was a mistake on their part. I think that I had communicated my regret, and they want me to be a happy customer for life, not because they are the only reputable place in town, but because I LIKE DOING BUSINESS WITH THEM!
