So when I started quilting I would go to a quilter/friend's house on Wed to sew/eat/chat. I loved going there and learned so much from her. One day I abruptly stopped sewing, packed up my stuff. She said are you leaving so soon? I said no. Just done sewing. She said why. I showed her...I had sewn one orphan block to the back of another block. Guess what we were doing while sewing? Yep. She had opened up a bottle of wine.

I was free motion quilting a small quilt as practice and when all done and so proud of myself, discovered that the Supreme Slider had somehow got "loose" and I had quilted a large portion of it to the back of my quilt. Had to pick it out and have never used that slider again. It was supposed to make the bed of the machine slippery and make sliding quilt around easier.
Still don't understand why I did hear something or feel something was wrong.

I had to laugh out loud at your too many bobbins story

Now, I'm trying to run out the thread from all the original wound bobbins that I needed empty to begin with.The thread is miscellaneous embroidery thread colors I needed for previous projects. Six bobbins emptied yesterday with only 43 more to go. So now tell me please, why did I order 40 more bobbins?
Need a spare? LOL!
PS: I had to turn off the machine sensor that beeps when bobbin thread is low so I could run out!

Rhonda K, You are the Queen of the bobbin world and may hold the title as the World's greatest bobbin keeper.

My new Bernina has really large bobbins but also warns you when you're running low. I love those features.
I just finished the cutest quilt but I didn't notice until I finished that I have 2 creases in the back. Grrrr! I'm not going to fix it though as I'm keeping this one.
