Holy Smokes?!!  Whew, that doesn't smell right.  In my haste to clean up my quilting studio I didn't realize it until I smelled smoke and saw some smoke coming from my 14 year old Eureka vacuum cleaner.  After turning it off and looking at the beater bar brush did I realize there was almost a ton (of course I am exaggerating )of thread caught in the beater bar brush.  So much that it stopped the bbb from turning.  As soon as I am done quilting the quilt I have on the machine I'll run uptown and hopefully find a new belt for this vacuum.  Hey I'm just getting this vacuum broke in.  Certainly I've got a few more years left for it to vacuum up another ton of thread.

Whoops this  picture should be vertical.

Blessings to all.
