The new design of Tiger Lily is up and going. I decided the 9 patch blocks in between the tiger lily blocks were too busy--or something.
I have 5 block sets appliqued and am working on the 6th one. I need 9 all together.
I was moving along nicely last night when my machine started acting up. I am using a satin stitch and all of the sudden it started skipping stitches. I changed needles, re-threaded the machine numerous times, and finally--gave up.
I turned the machine off and hopefully when I return to it tonight, all will be well again. Sometimes I think the electronic mechanisms just get tired, like we do, and goes haywire until reset. Probably not! But that's my theory. I would hate to admit that it was human error.
Happy snipping, stitching, and quilting!
you can never tell, sometimes it seems all you have to do is re-thread the machine, take the bobbin out and put it back in and it works.
ReplyDeleteDid you design the pattern or find it someplace?

I think the same thing about my embroidery machines sometimes. They will be running smoothly for several hours and all of a sudden, it's like they need a break and start acting up. Most of the time, if I turn them off for a while, they will work right when I turn them back on. The lily quilt is turning out beautiful. I can't wait to see the finished quilt.

ReplyDeleteVivian, your lillies look terrific! What a heirloom piece this will be! Hope your machine wakes up in a better mood and with no more "indigestion"! :)
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is going to be gorgeous Vivian! Blessings, Marlene
ReplyDeleteDid you take it apart & clean it? Sometimes mine gets linty and starts skipping stitches. Give it a good cleanout & use a different bobbin too. That might make a difference. Glad to see you are back working on this.
