Cute wavy pinwheel, Joan!

I have been so frustrated with my Juki quilter that I finally gave up on it. It's always been tricky to get the stitches balanced, but now it's impossible. I've tried every fix and the only thing I can come up with is that the tensioner was bad from the start and has gotten worse. I moved it out to pack up and send off for repair (or hopefully replacement!) and put my good 'ole Bernina Record 830 from the 1970's in it's place. At least I can get some quilts bound on it, and do all the piecing I want. It makes pretty, evenly balanced stitches.

Sewing machines... ARRGH! They are only fabulous when they work.
