Enjoy your weather - we're in the midst of "snowmageddon" in Minnesota. 18-20"+ of snow - wind howling, drifting snow - it's a mess. Good day for sewing as long as we keep power. I don't envy you your water heater disaster, it's the worst and always happens at the most inopportune time.

Becky, you really shouldn't be stacking things close to the ac/furnace unit. They need air to run plus that's a big fire hazard. Please double check with your local ac expert to see what he says. Here in Kansas, that's a hughe no no! Want you to be safe!

Keep the chair base to stand your bolt of wadding on. Makes for easy movement AND off the floor.
@PowerToolsWithThread Жыл бұрын
I looked at that because I've heard of that trick before. This base had a wide round metal footrest that stuck out several inches over the circumference of the wheels. The footprint of the base was just too big for my space - I have two big rolls of batting (wadding). Also, it was all greasy so I decided to let it go.

So sorry about your water heater, during the video I saw that you had an old office chair, and your rolled batting up on whatever. You can take the bottom of the old office chair and use a pickle bucket lid for a base and an metal pole or rod. I think it was on Pat Sloans page where someone's husband made for her batting rolls. Maybe add it to Keith's honey do list ? Haha. Thank you for all you both do and share!

Sure! Here it is. I would recommend keeping it indoors. It lasts longer. It has a 3/8" line in so Keith had to do some creative downsizing from the input pipe to the line into the machine.

We do have a plumber that works on our rental property in San Antonio and Keith had asked me to call him. He was busy and couldn't get to us before Keith got home. But yes, we talked to a friend of ours who needed a new water heater and he was charged almost $2k. I think that plumbers have to know all the new code compliance rules and they are required to also bring the install up to code. This can include putting it up on a box, strapping it to a wall, special pan, special wiring, etc. Then add time, travel, et al and next thing you know, the $509 water heater from HD is $2k! Thanks for your kind thoughts. :)

Just watched. Great as usual. The water heater replacement was great too. That kind of work has to be done by professionals where I live in Scotland because our house insurance will not cover in the event of a disaster if completed even by the best handyman. Any work done by electricians/plumbers give a certificate of work which the house insurance people require if making a claim. My husband is a Keith and it frustrates him. About the Mylar. Does it melt/harden when washed? Love all my girls and guys on you tube land. Even Bernina Jeff and I don’t own a Bernina !!!!'!!!!!!!!!!!.

You will only be able to open designs that fit in a 4x4 hoop. If a design is larger than a 4x4, like this margarita design, your machine can't stitch it out because there's not enough throat space for the hoop to move around that much. If you are ready to upgrade, I recommend you 'at LEAST' get a machine that can handle a 6x10 hoop. That will do you well to do most commercial designs. I have the combo (sewing/embroidery) version of this machine and it's awesome! shrsl.com/3yhth
