Last ones for today. I have JoKid and Happy Lab left to finish.

MamaH - you are a sewing demon!

I am off tomorrow and have to run to the sewing machine shop (long arm is just being plain ugly!) to get some different needles (before I throw it out the window) and see if that will help it from breaking thread.

After that, I hope to be able to sew some blocks -- I'll be lucky to get a couple done.

It must be the week for long arms acting up. I snapped a guide wire on Monday and since I live in the middle of nowhere, it will be next week before the replacement arrives. That's a big reason why I have so much time to sew now! I was hoping to finish a quilt that says "buy my house" to put on our bed for the listing pictures/showings. Probably that's out the window now ��

I have a question - did we each get at least one F8 from each boomer? I went through my package several times and I don't see a F8 from happylab. I do have double F8s from a few boomers and also got one of mine back. I'm just checking as these booms are new to me. Also just FYI - I'm trouble shooting my machine at the moment. Had some unexpected trouble with some blocks in my last boom. If I can't figure out what's wrong and fix it on my practice blocks, I may be sending fabric back to boom members. Wish me luck! Chris

I ended up up with an extra of Nelco's. I think Barb mentioned she had some left overs that were left out accidentally - check with her.

Whats going on with your machine? Do you have a friend to borrow a loaner? I'd send you one of my extras but I just killed two in the last month. I abuse my machines so I have 2 extras on hand so when one goes to the repair, I'm still able to work - both were given terminal diagnoses and were donated to the dumpster. Probably it would be smarter to buy fancy high end but I like my $125 machines. I've owned 4 of them now and would buy it again without a second thought.

Having trouble w/my blocks coming up undersize. Had some come out fine and some 1/2 inch too small - using the same thread and my 1/4" foot. I'm adjusting my thread tension and sewing sample block before I cut into anyone's fabric. Really frustrated - I'm sure a machine check-up would help but as I only have the one machine I'm kind of stuck at the moment. I tried switching to Superior threads Bottom Line because it's thinner but could not get the tension right to sew with it. It would literally slide right through my fabric when I tried to use my threadcutter no matter how I set my tension. Will see how the sample blocks come out and go from there.

WOW! looks like I will have a very bright and happy quilt. Thank Kelly

Finally got one finished! Celandine I saw where you didn't care where your fabric was used so I switched it up from where other's had placed it. Hope you like the change.
