I'm making my mom a quilt for Christmas. I put it out the quilting frame last night with plans to get up early today and quilt it. Well, I have been working on it all day and only have it 2/3 done. The thread keeps breaking after about 3 inches of stitches. I finally decided to oil my machine tonight and start again in the morning. Vent over. Thanks for listening!

We all need to vent sometimes. Better luck in the morning.
|
Always glad to listen to vents, helps doesn't it. Think positive, tomorrow is another day.
|
I have about the same progress report on the one I'm doing...only it is being hand quilted and I haven't worked on it for over a week. Hope I get my act together and get it done!
|
Someone posted to oil the shuttle thing the bobbin sits in she read it in a long arm book might help. Hope tomorrow is much better!!
|
Hope it all works out better in the morning. sometimes it is just best to walk away and come back to it later,
|
I hope it all works out for you.
|
I find that when my thread breaks a lot, I need a new needle. Have you tried that? I am sure your mom will love it, even if you have to give it to her unfinished with the promise to finish it after Christmas.
|
maybe tension or the quilt top is too tight...also my thread gets dry sometimes and I have to spritz it with water,,,very dry in colorado...
|
(((HUGS))) Hope it goes better for you in the morning :D:D:D
