When you have a challenging sewing task ahead of you, or you are sewing around the clock for industry, your grandmother’s Singer will not cut it! You need a high-powered industrial machine like those made by BabyLock, Pfaff, Juki America and others.
These sewing miracles can cost a small fortune but we want our Le-Meilleur-Vin-de-Bordeaux Sewing Society members to have experience with the look, the feel and the mechanics of these heavy duty machines.
This is why, every third Tuesday of the month, we send our van down to Louisville to rent several of these machines from a large sewing concern. We then have our classes that evening and return the machines the next morning.
It is about a 150 mile round trip, two times, but it is the most cost-effective way to bring the value of this experience to our member’s monthly class.
Balloons Are Fun, Right?
Not when one appears out of nowhere, expanding out of the rubber sidewall of the right rear tire on our van.
Our driver was heading back to us with the machines in the back passing through Fredericksburg approaching Hardinsburg when he noticed a peculiar vibration on the van. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
There it was, expanding ever so slowly every moment, a ticking time bomb ready to blow out the tire. Our driver Googled & found https://www.pennertireservice.com coming up on the right side of the road.
A few minutes later, he pulled into Penner, and boy was he glad to have found safe harbor! They explained to him that this kind of tire failure can sometimes follow a sharp blow to the sidewall from a curb or other object.
Truth be told, the tires on the van were probably due to be replaced but will liked to get as much mileage on them as possible before undertaking that expense.
As Luck Would Have It
Penner had just replaced all the tires on another van and was able to provide us with a used tire to get us back on the road, quickly.
This was important to us because of the expense of renting the machines and the need to get them back to Bedford in time for our class. Penner quoted us a price for four new tires. We checked around and found their prices to be better than in the city!
We were glad that luck had us suffer a tire failure right down the road from a great tire shop. We went ahead and asked Penner to order the tires for us.
The Conclusion
Our driver got back to Bedford pretty much on time. Our class went wonderfully! Our members once again got their chance to have hands-on time with industrial grade sewing machines.
In the morning, our driver went back to Louisville and returned the rented machines. On his way back, he stopped at Penner Tire Service and there were the brand new tires ready to be installed.
In forty-five minutes, he was back on the road with fresh rubber, all balanced and aligned!
When we find a good operation anywhere in Indiana, we always want to give them a shout out. If you have any tire issues anywhere in the Hardinsburg area, you need to check out https://www.pennertireservice.com. You’ll be really glad you did!
