I was tinkering with all the spare thread I had around the house. Mind you I still have a leather needle loaded on everything I use. I was using store bought upholstery thread on top an something heavier on bottom with my 15-91. I grabbed some all purpose thread from the sewing basket I got when my mother in-law passed away. I wound a bobbin with that very tiny thread and using the same on top. I’m getting the crazy wrinkly stitch. I know it’s a tension issue but I cannot seem to overcome it. I switched to my modern singer still the same issue. My mother showed me that gathering trick a long time ago. I forget how it worked loose upper tension and pull the last thread to make the seam gather wrinkly. I probably need a smaller needle. I think I used that technique on some simple balloon curtains I made for my daughters room on summer when she came to stay with me.
In closing yall y’all all warned me quilting is a earned skill it’s not easy to be perfect. Yes I’m in the deep end of the pool and the bottom seems far away but I can tread water long enough to swim back to the shallow end. This might be a crooked mess when it’s done. Maybe I should have just made a set of pot holders. Yes I see everything as a quilt now. This will get done.
