Didn't get much chance to sew this weekend as it was my Dad's birthday. But in anticipation of possibly having to sew nice, consistent buttonholes on my coat for The Great Coat Sew-Along I dusted off SistahB's cousin and got in about an hour's worth of sewing on my plaid skirt. It was a real pleasure to sit down in front of this powerhouse and run a few seams after I reacquainted myself with all her bells & whistles.
My 1630 has been in storage for about 18 months now and I had thought about selling her because I don't really take advantage of her full potential. But how could I give up a machine that boasts over 200 stitch possibilities, including 12 sideways motion stitches, and 8 buttonhole styles?!?! Not to talk about how smoothly she operates and her beautiful stitches (though SistahB has her beat on the straight stitch, hands down).
Oh well! I guess I'll have to give up something else to pay for the new gutters for the house (maybe the gym membership??? I certainly don't use that often enough either!).

Glad you got some sewing done!
