Myrra Olesen's quilt

This quilt wash a challenge....in so much I had issues with my tension. I don't know what is wrong...maybe  I need a new bobbin case. The timing is fine. I can't see any burs of rough places along the thread path. It is very frustrating. My Innova has been wonderful with almost any thread I put in it. Anyway...it's done and I done with clients work until after the first of the year....(Maybe..haha). That is my plan anyway.  This is then third spiral star I have done in the last 3 months and I have loved each of them.


 You can dee pat of the problem I had in this photo. I would check the tension on a separate piece and then move back to the piece, quilt and then roll to see stitching worse than pokies in a few areas. So.... I picked it out and re-stitched.  I used glide on the top and superior thread's bottom line in the bobbin. I choose the bottom line to minimize the density of the back tracking.  I don believe from now on,  if I have issues, I will use the same thread in then top as I have in then bottom. By the time I had decided this, I was to far into then piece to start matching the thread. The would have looked worse.


Time to get the mess cleaned up and get my Christmas decorations out band up! We are going to and cut a pinion pine tree later in the week. 
Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving! Ours was very quite and that was just fine. I am really looking forward to Christmas and some down time (well not so much down time just different work).
