I did the unquilting on the hillside housing. It was a bear. I love my Janome 6600, but when you use the thread cutter, it makes a nice little knot that is very difficult to remove. I found some Superior variegate blue thread in lighter colors. I also bought some new batting, I am running low. It was 25% off at Fabric Depot today.
I went down to the studio to quilt it and rethreaded every thing. I still had snarls. I cleaned out the bobbin case and changed the needle. I still had snarls. I have been using the Superior prewound Bottomline bobbins which are heavy paper. I switched to a regular bobbin and voila! problem solved. These have been working fine for me. I love them because you can get an assortment of colors. Anyway, the quilting is finished, a couple of days later than I planned.
I am feeling better, too. Headache is gone. I wasn’t a bit grumpy today.
I have nothing to show you so I stole these photos from Steph’s blog. These will be for sale in her shop tomorrow. Aren’t they phenomenal. They are made from wool. Each petal of the pinecone is lined. I have such talented children.
Yesterday at our NEW JoAnne’s (woohoo) I was flipping through a book on felting…it intrigues me, the items people create with felt!!! And your daugthers also have a very creative mama! That old saying about fruit not falling far from the tree seems to apply here 🙂
So happy to hear your headache has lifted too!
Bob at Superior would like to hear about your bobbin problem, I’ll bet.
Those pine cones are amazing. And already sold out!
Have tyou tried the new glide quilting foot and bobbin case for teh Janome 6600? I find it is fabulous – although i didn’t buy the case as it is just the same as the regular one but with looser tension and I had a spare one I fiddled with instead.
Good for you! Solving a sewing machine problem is always a challenge. Funny about the bobbins though. Odd.
I am so glad you are feeling better. Sinus headaches are so painful. I saw Stephanie’s pinecones the other day on her blog and was blown away when I saw that each scale/petal/? (what are they on pinecones?) was lined. Amazing! Hope your week continues to improve. Cheers.
