Those trees are really nice! (but I have to tell myself, NO NEW IDEAS) will need to save it for my "someday" file.
Got all started with the long arm, and it broke the thread and the timing was off. DH did some searching and watched a few videos, and got it fixed. The problem was the needle bar had slipped up a bit, probably with all the moving around we did getting the prostitcher installed - or who knows . . . He's done a lot of work with my vintage machines, so this wasn't a big deal once he got the info he needed.
Finally back in business - I'm doing a sort of 4 -leaf clover pattern, just all over the field.
The cat - she found a better place to rest.
Now I have to run up town to get some groceries - the price of fixing my long arm is a batch of rice crispy treats.
