HACK THE PLANET M

[changeling]

THIS MESSAGE BROUGHT TO YOU BY STEPH.

IT IS SLEEPY TIME. DANI WILL BE PERMITTED TO UPDATE TOMORROW.

BED TIME PREVAILS.





****END TRANSMISSION****



OMG SEEKRIT PIRATE TRANSMISSION!

I have to be quick, for I have hacked into the lines with my portable "Morser". SLEEP TIME NOW! SLEEP TIME!

Srsly. Have to be fast. Makeshift corset-bone replacement not holding out.

I can't get my fricking treadle machine to work. So far, all I've discovered is that I have a "vibrating shuttle" (which just sounds obscene, frankly), and I've managed to thread the machine (probably incorrectly). I can also actually operate the treadle. I can't get the thread to come up from the damn shuttle/bobbin. No matter how many times I turn the hand crank, I can't get the needle to catch the bottom thread. This is driving me nuts. I might call friend Sean and see if he can help (if Mel can't, anyway).

So, if anyone has any information on a Wertheim Planet M (Anyone else reminded of "House of M"?) and how to get the fricking shuttle loaded into the machine properly, I will love you forever.


SLEEP TIME SLEEP TIME SLEEP TIME YOU WILL COMPLY

I'm not sure if I can help as I was never allowed to do any maintenance on my mother's old Singer.

I'm sorry you missed me in the AM (night your time).

That's OK! I was sad I missed you! I sent the first message before the computer loaded the away messages.
