Thank you so much
@WMUTeach ! Well my sewing machine was giving me tension issues that weren't resolving. It's time for it to be serviced, I know by the sound. Not really bad noise, just a little off. Thankfully my hubby said to call the repair tech and take it in. So I'll go onto plan B- cutting, cutting and more cutting. I have a Pride and Prejudice quilt partly done, so I think I'll start there. If I'm adventurous I do have my mom's old Elna machine I may pull out and oil up and see if I can use it for piecing, until my machine is good to go. Blessings all!
