No, I didn't have time to finish the gift. But I was so elated that I didn't mind. Now to finish a quilt and the topper. The material was a beautiful black with metallic swirls so light and delicate. I can't wait to work it into the project I have in mind. I am still looking for the perfect setting for it. Have something in mind, but only time will tell if it was a good idea or not. Thanks for the empathy. I just feel so dumb! I had practically torn the doggoned thing apart looking for the problem and it was the needle not in far enough. Oh well, I got some fabric that was just perfect! and the machine fixed as well.
