I’ve been under the weather (so to speak) since mid July.  I’m much better now, but turns out that I did not injure my back as I originally thought.  I have been diagnosed with arthritis and bone spurs in my spine.  For a while there when it flared up, it was pretty painful to sit anywhere in a straight chair (such as I would use to sew or use the computer).   I had to reserve my straight-chair sitting for essential tasks.  Hopefully, now that I’m feeling better, I’ll be able to do some more posting about sewing machines and sewing tips.
