I wonder if the 301A's foot control has gone out? If the light comes on, it's getting power and it would be really strange for the motor to just quit without making any tell-tale dying noises. Maybe a local shop can test that for you and you might only be out for a foot control. AND, it would be awesome if you could replace it with a full foot control instead of The Evil Toe-Control. ;)

Your prize will be brilliant once you have it together. Witness the wicked Christmas pkg from last year...

Yay for quilting!

I don't know. When I have time to dive into it I will but I just want to get this sucker finished. I'm done with the main straight lines and am about halfway or so done machine-tying in the center of each square. AM thinking of maybe a decorative stitch in the green border but not sure yet. Need to finish tomorrow so I can get it bound and washed by Saturday morning!

Ah yes, how well I remember the christmas box.(es). This will definitely NOT be that epic. I'm thinking a flatrate medium box if the winner is US and maybe 1-2 pounds, tops, if the winner is international.

If you had a friend with a 301A, you could always borrow their foot control to test it. *coughcoughjustsayin*

Can't wait to see the quilt finished. It sounds like you have lots of good ideas in mind!

Prize ideas sound perfect!

I didn't even manage any work on that darn quilt tonight. I was so tired when I got home from work I ate dinner, barely managed to make it through the daily show, and proceeded to zonk out on the sofa for over half an hour. Bah.

Anyway, not sure if I want to drag two sewing machines over 1300 miles round trip. I will play with it this weekend. I'm seriously considering skipping Linus this weekend since I'll be out of town next weekend. Too many things to do. If I get that quilt finished I would still drop it off but otherwise it can be turned in next month. Tired of worrying about it.

Ah well, don't stress about it. If you don't get it done, you don't. *hugs*
