Feeling really stupid
A few days back I asked if anyone could tell me why I was getting skipped stitches. Well after that I made some recommended adjustments, started quilting again and my needle wasn't picking up the bobbin thread so now no stitches. My guy took the machine off the frame, cleaned again, oiled, tried to find out the problem. We spent hours on this. Rethreaded, new needle, new bobbin, watching the bobbin move to see if the problem was noticeable, etc. Finally realized I had been threading the needle in the wrong direction. Thread it right and it Works fine now. Talk about feeling really stupid. Duh. Now I'm wishing needle thread direction is standard on all machines. I think my problem is that the machine I piece on goes the opposite way and I get so used to it. I took a marker and drew an arrow pointing to the way it should go on the machine, hopefully done with that mistake.
