The Dixie Quilt Guilds bi-anual quilt show is coming up in April. I have been very busy with getting work done for a few of my clients. I have a couple more that need to be done in time for the ladies to get the bindings sewn on in time for them to be entered in the show. The PHFA group I belong to are going to be featured at the quilt show this year. I have a few pieces that I need to get hanging sleeves sewn onto for the show. Time just have gotten away from me. The older I get the slower I seem to be getting. I spend much more time thinking about a project before I start working on it. Everything seems to take me longer also!
I had been having problems with thread breakage on my long arm. It has been very frustrating. I finally purchased a new bobbin case for the machine and have had much better luck. I think that my older bobbin case had developed a bur or something. I have an Innova long arm and they are machines that really can use any thread combination. Anyway....... I had had issues with different threads, but nothing that I could pin point. I adjusted tensions, changed needles... checked timing and finally purchased a different brand of bobbin case. The bobbin case I purchased was a more expensive one than I had been using. The check spring looks like the check spring in my Bernina. I have had much better luck.
Here are a few of the things I have been doing lately.....
