Come on in! We are only up to day 21! If you sew the way these ladies are sewing you could be caught up in no time.

I'll even excuse you from bring the note!
:-D

My mom is 84 and can't remember why I am late getting started. I am 64 and I can't remember either!

The 3rd block I did, the design was not centered when finished. Yes, I had it centered before starting. So out came the stitches, then down to the computer and the Diamond. New needle, same thread, shredding before completing one design; changed to embroidery needle from quilting needle; still shredding. Finally got back to it today with different thread, cotton quilting thread; still shredding. Changed to topstitching needle, did one motif without shredding. Next square, shredding. I am going nuts. Any suggestions I would welcome at this point!!!!
I find that having the thread vertical instead of horizontal & the topstitch needle & a little sewers aid off & on helps alot. Is the inside of your bobbin area clean? And the little wick area in there oiled (if yours takes it)? Hope this helps...good luck!

I would love to do this, but the only thing I can be counted on to do every day is brush my teeth.

The thread is vertical; not supposed to use sewers aid in these new electronic machines. Bobbin area is clean. Don't oil computerized machines. I think the problem is mainly due to the thread and needle going through the seams of the pinwheels; determined by where the stitches are skipping and the thread is shredding. I think the microtex needle is going to solve the problem. We'll see when I work on it later this morning. Thanks for the help.

That email notification is the pits! I have it all turned off since it's not reliable anyway.
There will be at least one post on this topic every day until we are done, I promise!
:-D
