Thanks for all of the comments and suggestions.
It’s been so hot here in southwestern Oklahoma that we have to run fans both at our home sewing station and the ones at the shop. Our AC is overwhelmed with the number of consecutive days in triple digits (40-some now, I think). One evening, it was still 101 degrees on the 10 o’clock TV News weather map even.
Once I get my fabric under the presser foot, I’m good. It’s the “keeping everything from running away” while trying to get it to the presser foot that’s the tough part. LOL!
