Wonderful Wednesday - Longarm in the House - Sort of!!!

Welcome to another edition of Wonderful Wednesday!!  It FINALLY happened!!  Can you believe it???

What, Joyful???

Over the weekend, the rails of the longarm made their way INSIDE the house and up to the studio!

2/12/22 was Moving Day for the long bits...


They came in through this window:



Fortunately, it was a warm and wonderful February day...

The movers warmed up with the lightest piece, the support bracket:


It was a three man person job...

DH was in the lead and was the one who climbed the ladder:


Followed by DS2, the trusty assistant and runner:


Then there was me.  I waited in the studio taking photos between the incoming rails.  With the assistance of the window ledge, I held each rail while DS2 went through the garage and up the studio stairs.  Upon his arrival, we added the first rail to the (future) longarm spot:


Before long, three pieces had joined the growing collection...


Four...


All the rails are together, again, 


Last came the "ladder" (otherwise known as the table) and the collection was complete:


As you can see in the photo below, the carriage and the supports have been waiting for the return of the rails:


Only three pieces left to join the ones shown thus far!!!

The table top panels...


And...

The machine head:


I'm hoping these final items will be carried up the studio stairs and magically transformed into a usable piece of machinery.  With the way the weeks have gone, I'm fairly certain this won't happen before next weekend.  That's OK, I've waited this long.  A few more whiles won't matter in the grand scheme of things.  :o))

Until next time...
SEW exciting!!!

  7. That is exciting! In future years people will wonder, "How did she get that into this room?", and we will know the secret of the helpers and the window.
