ME TOO my son has given me some of those looks that suggest I may need counseling - but can still run pretty fast even if its only to my car...

I'm sure that if Murphy had been a quilter he could have fixed us up with a few of his well known laws. However, we as a sisterhood know that some of his general laws fit us. Yesterday I was having problems with my thread breaking (an Aurifil #28)-the problem: a burr in the needle. So, I changed the needle and was on my way again.

Geez, I am so glad to hear someone else has these problems. Not that I want you too. I guess that is normal and we just need to walk away and come back to it later. Why is it, sometimes you sit down to sew and everything falls into place and wala your done. Then other times it is like the machine is out to get you and just make your sewing time miserable. I had just finished a quilt in time for my friends birthday yesterday, and didn't give it to her because in one area the tension thread was so loose, I could of cried. No time to fix it, and yet everywhere else on the quilt it was fine. So today is a new day, got some time today to maybe take a look at it. Just take a deep breath and try again.

Yeah, I hate when sewing along and seams are matching sew perfectly, only to get to the end and realize you didn't have any thread.

...... trust me it happens to a lot of us

pyffer3,

Not exactly but very close troubles at my sewing machine. Thank you for the humor this morning. To all of you posters to this thread; yes I have done that too.

I feel that I need to have the bobbin somewhere on the top where I can see it. I've lost count of the number of times that I have sewn on happily with no thread in the bobbin. As you've already been advised - step away and take a break.
