Well here's the pic of my broken juki.  I some how cracked the thread take up lever and used a 4 cent wire tie to hold it together until I can get te part from Japan.  I have been quilting all the tops I have ready for myself and friends while the piece is holding.  Once it breaks thats all she wrote.  

In the meantime sorry you haven't seen more pics of finished projects.  I'm having an eye problem so not getting much done.  I do have a couple of round robins I'm quilting and one scrap quilt that as as soon as I get the binding done I'll post pics.  So don't give up, more pics coming soon.
