Yesterday was my biggest dumb thing involving quilting. Friday evening I loaded a quilt for my granddaughter onto the frame to quilt. I noticed the bobbin was still in the machine which means it hadn't been oiled after the last use. I pulled the machine to the side again, as I had it positioned to start when I noticed this, oiled the machine and left it for the night.
Saturday, I loaded the bobbin, positioned the machine and started to quilt. I got to the end of the first row, undid the strap on one side and then the other. The strap (a strip of fabric) on the last side didn't fall down. It was stitched to the back of the quilt!!! I didn't notice that when I moved the machine over it took the loose end of the strip with it and why would I, it's never happpened before! Good grief!!! Out go those stitches!
