I quickly learned that you have to be very specific with the packers about what NOT to pack, my mil telling me her experience with packers boxing up a kitchen trash bin full of garbage, which of course was reeking by the time it was unpacked on the other end. So I pointed out my first night box and said don't touch it, nor the things on the dining room table where I'd laid out placemats etc for use when we had lunch and dinner that day. Still, I caught one of the packers who was particularly fast swooping down on the table and gathering everything up to put in a box. I caught him just in time - lol. As an aside, everything any packers packed for us arrived on the other end in perfect condition, even the most fragile items. However, they DO use a ton of paper wrapping everything up safely. Best of luck to you.The Idaho Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979439849662755082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8327638922473726598.post-77448620275261361182024-03-14T12:38:59.186-04:002024-03-14T12:38:59.186-04:00There's no turning back now!

I even delay having mine serviced just because I don't like it "being away". I may not be sewing anything at the moment... but I might want to all of a sudden. Even with a second machine on hand, I put it off!
