How to decide when you're done with the project for the day. Day 24.

When the sewing machine breaks. Probably a good time to stop.

Ok, I honestly don't know what happened. I was sewing the lining of a skirt, and it is thin, as lining often is. Well, the corner got sucked into the feed dogs, and I pulled back out, and now the needle loop doesn't pick up the thread from the bobbin (or as Ramon refers it is, with a faux German accent, the "boobin"). I called Ramon, and asked him to take a look at it tonight when he gets home. He says, "Well, you've sewed the shit out of that thing! You have put more than 30 years worth of fabric through that thing since you bought it four months ago." Fair point. It is under warranty, so the call will be made tonight on whether Ramon can fix it, or it goes into sewing-machine repair land.

Oh sad day. I guess it is back to knitting for now.
