I'm so glad to have the longarm back in action. After all the angst and multiple timings, I think I've determined that half of my problem was the thread! Whatever, I now can time my machine in my sleep. I got busy and quilted all weekend. It was so much fun to catch up on veterans quilts, like this one from Becky. I don't remember who made this one but all of those starts are EPP pieced. It's my photography that makes it look wonky. I also quilted 3 of my own veterans quilts and plan to get on with the binding today. I'd like to have them all done before our quilt club meeting tomorrow night so I can take then for show and tell. I have one more veterans quilt of my own to quilt and then I have a big quilt that Mom made. Based on the status of this bin, I will also need to make some pet beds again soon.
That's pretty much the extent of my weekend. I did some crochet during the football games and am really close to finishing a baby blanket. 1/9/2023 01:18:13 pm
nice that you got the machine figured out - and could get some finishes!

So did you learn how to tune your machine by watching a YouTube?

I think more often than not our machine issues end up being the thread. Glad you figured yours out anyway and now you're off to the races with quilting.
