sakon76So, while I am waiting for the fraycheck on the ribbons to dry and waiting somewhat longer for the E6000 on the boning tips to dry....
After having realized that we were both going to have to schlep our sewing machines up to Costume College for the ladies' dancing slippers class, Liz recommended to me that I purchase a sewing machine trolley like hers. Okay, I thought, having little objection to the idea of an easy way to move my sewing machine about. And started checking out my local JoAnns for them. Only to discover of the four stores that I hit, only *one* had any left. They had *one* left, in fact. So I clutched my sale flier to me, hoping that no one would purchase it before Friday 5:15pm, when I could walk in and use my 50% coupon. Thursday afternoon the fliers arrive in the mail with the Monday-Thursday coupons, of course, but I'm sewing by then and don't want to backtrack to the store near where I work. I decide to risk it. So I go in after work yesterday and huzzah, it's still there! I check it to make sure it's all intact, that the handle telescopes, all the zippers work, whatnot, and discover that one of the little black pouches inside is gone. I ask the sales clerk at the checkout if maybe it's been floating around the store anywhere and they just didn't know what it went with? She calls her manager over, he gives me a 25% off discount for the missing little pouch, on top of the 50% off coupon I was using anyway. I got a $60 sewing machine trolley for $15. I am well pleased. ^_^ And I even like the color.
