I spent a bit of time scouring the internet for information on my New Home 2105 to very little avail. I did find a threading guide, but that was all. No reviews, none for sale on Ebay. Just nuttin' honey. On Saturday afernoon I emailed Janome and told them I had recently acquired the machine and needed a manual for it. It arrived in my in-box by 9am Monday morning. PDF'd and no cost. Kudos for excellent customer service and THANK YOU, JANOME. It was clear that I hadn't purchased it from them and lost the book, nor was it a recently retired model. I am so impressed and grateful.
Speaking of manuals, it was necessary for me on this machine. I even had a couple of the knobs "labeled" wrong. Tsk, tsk. Now, I need time to sew. And it won't sew in reverse. I need to poke around itside it a bit and see if I can repair that. The button doesn't feel quite right.
I also went back to JoAnn's yesterday to see what else I could find at 90% off. Apparently I wasn't the only shopper on Sunday. There wasn't much left, though I did find a few more items, including some bleached muslin to line my dress. In all, 11 yards for $15. Not too bad, eh?
And this morning I met up with a sewing friend Kristine of Just Keep Sewing brought her two cute kids and we met at a local donut shop for coffee, sewing talk and car watching (ok, that mostly just the kids). It was nice talking sewing to someone. We're plotting a trip to Haberman's where I expect I'll spend much more than $1.19/yard.
It was a pleasure meeting you, as well! Yeah, I'm pretty sure Haberman's will not have anything that cheap, aside from a single button!
ReplyDeleteYes! I scored some of the 90% off stuff today while at lunch, including a gorgeous piece of black linen? eyelet. I may hit another JoAnne on the way home tonight.
ReplyDeleteHow much fun to meet a fellow blogger in person.
