The cover stitch machine arrived.
Cover Stitch Machine
I wasn’t paying any attention to who was delivering the box. I had clicked on the tracking number that came in the email and I assumed it was UPS. I’m glad they didn’t come by today because I would have gone racing out to the truck, all excited to get my machine, and it would probably have been a bargain book on how to change your life in 5 minutes . . that Vince had ordered. Then I would have insisted they check their truck for my machine. Then I would have gone in and got the tablet and came in and proved to them that it was on their truck and “out for delivery” and then they would have said . . Fed Ex, lady!
About 7 p.m., I told Vince . . I’m going to check the tracking but I’m afraid to look because it probably says “delivered” which means someone else has it. I check and yep . . “delivered” but it was at that point I noticed it was Fed Ex and there seems to be three different Fed Ex groups that deliver here and one of them, out of Abilene, will not come through the gate.
We ran down there and sure enough . . there sat my much anticipated box.
Boots and the Cover Stitch Machine
Boots was so thankful for a new toy in the sewing room. Wait . . that is not for you, Boots. He was so sure it was for him. He decided to gnaw on the spool holders til I chased him away . . a dozen times.
Boots
When the thread moved . . oh, yes . . definitely a cat toy! I had to put the machine in the closet and close the door when I was done playing with it.
Exhausted Kitty
Learning to use a cover stitch machine can be exhausting! Or, maybe it’s getting sprayed with the water bottle for biting . . whatever the reason, I’m always grateful when he wears himself out a bit.

What is the difference between a coverstitch machine and a serger?
Sandie says
No cutting blade on a cover stitch machine is the primary difference.

Congratulations!! I have wanted a coverstitch machine for a long time, but couldn’t justify the cost. I will be living vicariously through you. I can’t wait to see what you make. Of course, I will probably have to get one sooner or later because I won’t be able to stand it. LOL. Just like the insta-pot etc… Have fun!4

That goofy little cat! So funny!!

How funny, I was also excited for UPS yesterday. But mine was a Worx w509 trivac. It blows leaves and can vaccum them with a flip of a switch. It is awesome. Even the hubby took it over, and he hates yard work. Lol

Cathy Stoddard says
Why don’t you feed that poor little cat Judy???!!!!!
dezertsuz says
I have no idea what that is, so I don’t know if I want one or not. LOL I’m glad you got yours, though.
Sheri Berger says
No cutting on a coverstitch vs. serger – good to know. But what are some examples of times you’d want to do that without it cutting? (I love my serger!)

A few weeks ago, I rang Hertz to modify the booking for a rented car. I had all the details on the computer screen in front of me. They couldn’t find my name in the system. I quoted the reference number I’d been given – long pause, ‘Ah … Are you sure that that’s the number?’, they asked politely. “Yes, yes – I’m looking at the reservation details on my screen right now.” “It’s just that it doesn’t seem like one of our numbers. Are you sure you booked with Hertz?” “Oh yes. Absolutely. We always book use Hertz.” “Well, our reservation numbers have three letters at the beginning. Are you looking at the right place on the screen?” “Yes … {pause} … Oh. Sorry. I booked with Thrifty – they had a special deal going.” {dies of embarrassment while hanging up the phone}

That picture of Boots behind the machine is adorable! My cat loves to ‘help’ me sew, too.
