Messed up stitching
Some time ago I posted something I read about when you get a bird's nest while stitching, remove the foot to get the embroidery out of the machine without too much damage. Fortunately, I have not had the chance to give it a try - until yesterday.
I didn't have a bird's nest, but the embroidery came up at one corner, and somehow got caught over the foot and the machine kept stitching. What a mess! I unscrewed the needle, but it couldn't come out so I unscrewed the foot. Took some doing but I did manage to get the whole mess out of the machine.
I wasn't able to save the piece, but it was so much easier to release it from the machine.
I didn't like the colors anyway!
