Good afternoon everyone! We have some frustrating news to share today. If you could give a *bump* like and comment, it would be super appreciated!
Yesterday, our sewing machine suddenly began malfunctioning for the first time ever since we got it in 2017. After doing all the normal "restart" stuff along with cleaning out any built up gunk, we couldn't get it to start working. So we got it dropped off to a local repair shop and now crossing our claws! They are predicting it may just need an annual tune-up and cleaning, however, after looking and fiddling around with it for a few minutes, that may not be the case.
So that puts a damper on some of our plans. We are not expecting to get our machine back for an estimated 3 weeks. Here is what this is probably going to affect:
-Pride Gauntlets: Yes, in case you didn't guess the clues, we were making a small series of clawed pride gauntlets for June. We need the machine to make strong/durable elastic bands for the tops of the arms. We will still finish the series of gauntlets, but they may not be ready until the very beginning of July.
-Custom Commissions January Batch: We are finishing up the very last orders from our first 2020 batch. Most of them are done with the knit and just need the sewing stuff done (elastic bands, belt loops, etc). Once we have our machine back, these will take our priority.
-Etsy Custom Orders Made Prior to May: These fall into the same category as above, except most are not knit yet. Since we cannot finish up the sewing of the above, we will be switching to getting the knit done on these projects. Then they will be on hold until we get our machine back.
-Other large stock projects: We are trying to use up a majority of claws we have had sitting around. Once customs are knit, we will see about having extra time to get a couple more big projects done for Etsy ;)
We have never sent our machine in to a repair shop before. Their deep cleaning fees aren't too bad, but we are super nervous by their reactions that something may actually be wrong mechanically and need repairs. They'll be contacting us if it does need repairs and what the fees will include.
We are aware times are tough but if you can, take a quick look in our shop. We always try to make sure there are very cheap merch items (under $5) in there, along with scalemaille projects that stick around $50 rather than our quite expensive items. There are also custom listings for the small-medium tails and gauntlets if nothing suits your liking. ;) Link will be in the comment section as Facebook hates it when we put a link in our description.
Thank you all so much for sticking around and your continued support! We are beyond frustrated with all of this, darn technology!!
Best of wishes for the rest of your week!
