    Default I am soooo bummed out!

    I am currently "living" in an RV and made a trip back home for the 4th of July taking several items I didn't need anymore in the camper. Accidentally, I packed up and took home the power cord to my sewing machine! I will not be going back for two more months! I don't think I can get along that long without sewing so I plan on visiting a local quilt shop and asking of they might have one.

    What a silly thing to do!!!!

    oh NOO - Check for local sewing machine repair shops! They will have a cord that fits. We are living in our RV until we get home about mid-October. It's SEW much fun to sew and quilt in a smaller space lol Glad to hear I've got RV company!

    Does your campground have picnic tables ? What is your RV layout for sewing? Love to see the ideas!

    No, no way anyone should go months without sewing!!! Good luck and hope you find one SOON

    If you can't find one, is there any way we could find one for you and mail it?
    Be warned. I am BORED.
    This could be dangerous.

    When you get cold just go stand in the corner.
    They are usually 90 degrees.

    A giraffe's coffee would be cold by the time it reached the bottom of his throat.
    Ever think about that? No? You only think about yourself??

    What machine do you have? Is it possible to receive mail at the campground? Amazon might have it. Or Ebay.

    What is your machine and maybe we can help. I lost one for my kindle and a battery charger for my camera. There are generic one's out there that are perfectly fine.

    Oh thank you all sooooo much! I found cords online but you know how we are... who wants to wait for a cord to be shipped!!! NOT ME!! Can you believe there are NO vacuum/sewing machine places in this town (Ada, OK) at all???? I went to Walmart and actually found this young fellow extremely helpful. He sent me to Radio Shack and they had it!!! he knew exactly what I was looking for and sent me to the right place. On top of that, it was less expensive than the ones online. I am a happy sewer again!

    OK, probably a novice question, but I have to know. My Brother and my mom's Singer both have a combination foot pedal and power cord - the plug into the machine is connected to both. Do higher end machines have separate power cords?

    Hi Debbie! We have been in an RV for the most part of 15 years now. We do have a small place for the past 5 years back home where our kids are (Little Rock, AR). I have made a couple of my quilt tops in the campgrounds we have been in while enjoying the outdoors at the picnic table. At least when we had a good view and nice neighbors to talk to. For now we are in Ada, Okla and most of the "campgrounds" are basically places for the pipe-liners to park their rigs while they work. Very close together and few with picnic tables.

    My RV has the bedroom in the front, living/kitchen/dining combo in center and a small room in the back next to the bathroom. That room slides out and offers a fold-away bunk bed above a nice sofa which makes into a queen air bed, a desk with a TV and we have a freezer in there. I have adopted that room as my sewing/craft room. It works out perfectly because I can set up my machine, use the freezer for ironing/cutting space and watch TV to boot! It is small but works out really nicely for me.

    Please share with me how you work your space out in the RV! I also love to hear how others do these things.
