how do you put a scream on paper... AAAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH, will that do??
I commenced the quilting this afternoon and I have been having constant issues.... breaking needle thread, breaking bobbin thread, tangles..... the whole box and dice! Yep, changed needles, cleaned everything, yep... rethreaded the whole darn thing, discovered I did not have the spool cap on so figured that had been the problem.... but NOoooooo, that wasn't it....... then I thought "what about the actual bobbin?", so I took out a brand new bobbin, wound it and put it in the machine.... and so far, so good. What can I tell you? I guess you just have to TRY EVERYTHING when these things happen.
I forgot to show you the backing fabric....... I can't believe I chose this, but it really does go with the quilt top!!
and just one tip for the day... I don't think I have ever mentioned that I L.O.V.E. my Kwik Klip.
I just cannot close quilting pins any other way! If you haven't used one before, borrow one and try it and I'm sure you will be sold!
It's a long weekend here, MH and I went out to Fernvale Markets today - nice drive, nothing too exciting to buy - stopped at a roadside park for a cup of tea, then back home again.
Well, time for a little more quilting, then a nice cuppa (yes, we drink a LOT of tea!) and off to bed to read my latest Patchwork magazine.
Happy Sewing!
Nothings worst than a machine that gives you nothing but trouble, its soooooo frustrating, but you seem to have worked it out, well done.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is working out fine I love the colours its so modern.

How frustrating! Sometimes I have to walk away for a few minutes and come back not so discombobulated. The backing is perfect...bright and cheerful just like the quilt top.
ReplyDeleteI hate when that happens! Then, mysteriously it is fine! Tell me more about the kwik klp- never heard about it
ReplyDeleteOn days like that I wonder why I ever sew! Glad things have finally settled down for you with that gorgeous quilt.
