Jam of the Year Award

The Jam of the Year Award goes to my sewing machine. I think I spent about an hour trying to fix it yesterday after the thread flew out of the needle and decided to go on an adventure of its own. Thankfully I was successful, but I admit I was super nervous about taking it apart as much as I did! I was really worried I wouldn't be able to get it back together again.
Here you can see the jam and some of the tools of the de-jamming trade: tweezers, trimmers, wooden skewers, screwdrivers and scissors. Goodness, what a mess! This almost never happens, but of course it had to happen while I was under a (self-inflicted) deadline! Oh well, at least it's fixed!

Oh my gosh, you are so brave! Just today I decided to take my sewing machine in for a little preventative maintenance. I've been scared it's going to bail on me right as things get busy around here. Hope you're doing well ! :-)

WOW. I would cry and mope around for sure. And when I do dare to break it apart, I wouldn't know how to put it back together.

Congrats on fixing it!!
