This dog has many, many lives and has this latest life to thank from one little 3.5 year old little girl who "LOVES Freya so much! Smooches!"
She had two names before landing at our house at only just over a year old. Let this be a lesson before adopting a rescue dog. Research. Spend time with the dog. There sometimes is a reason why she is in rescue, it isn't always the people.
Nope, I always thought it was the people. People that just weren't good dog owners. Any dog is trainable.
Ha.
There was a most unfortunate incident in the house last week that has prevented me from progressing on my quilt. I know, people may have thought I would have had it done by now. And under normal circumstances I probably would have.
But no.
THAT dog was in the kitchen, mooching around the table for scraps. (She has put on 20 lbs since landing at our house...). I was running up and down the stairs sewing strips of blocks together all happy like.
When CRASH!
I turn around and see the dog bolting from under the table and somehow grabbing the cord for the sewing machine with her and sending my beloved Viking Huqvarna tumbling to the tile. Yes tile. Dangerous for little baby teetch and sewing machines alike.
I haven't found anyone who thinks they can fix - i.e., bend the machine back into shape... yet. And I am not sure if I find someone, if it will be worth it or not. Or if I should just pony up and buy a new sewing machine.
Destructo dog.
Lucky for her she has a 3.5 year old who loves her like no ones business.
No rescue dogs EVER again.

Took me time to read the whole article, the article is great but the comments bring more brainstorm ideas, thanks.

I wish we were closer, I'd give you my machine and the little sewing table it goes in/on. It in my 'office' closet and hasn't been used in the 2 years since it was given to me by my aunt (and how knows how long before that it was actually used) and with us converting the office into a bedroom I have no where for it. I plan to craigslist it around Christmas - unless you plan to make a trip here, it's all yours. ;)
Sorry this happened.
consider replacing your machine NM! Mine toppled off a chair seat onto the floor when I was rearranging the sewing room and inspite of two tries at the repair shop was never 100% right again.
