Well the quilting gremlins must have left my house and migrated to yours....without doing anything significantly different the shredding has stopped...knock wood. But last night it took me six tries to put a zipper in on a little bag...a task I have done so many times I could do it blindfolded.....ahhh, I hate it when the bad sewing fairy comes for a visit...go away little nasty.
