Thought I'd share a tip that may help. I learned about this in a recent Sharon Schamber workshop put on by my guild. Simply pour some foodgrade mineral oil (available in pharmacy section of the store) into a small cup and let your spool of thread, and bobbin, sit in the oil and soak it up. Then, when it is all fully saturated, take the spool and bobbin out and dab off any excess oil. Now they're ready to go into your machine. Mineral oil won't harm your machine and it tames even the most difficult threads. I remember this step even with my regular Mettler cotton sewing thread and my machine stitches like a dream!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03102151457070420429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6981242624031608520.post-22430279029381825312011-08-09T18:47:13.574-07:002011-08-09T18:47:13.574-07:00Me and Tillie (my Juki) are having to make a trip ...Me and Tillie (my Juki) are having to make a trip to the shop tomorrow - my house call repairman couldn't get the timing right - she's still skipping stitches on the curves! I told the guy at the shop that I had fifteen quilts to get on the frame, so I think he's going to fix it while I wait - hopefully! So I feel your pain....... But I love your fish!!Sarah Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18393284767325742399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6981242624031608520.post-45995561609292382162011-08-09T18:16:46.504-07:002011-08-09T18:16:46.504-07:00Oh that is very distressing.

Your fish look fabulous in any event!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02453095369526864932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6981242624031608520.post-7115256080703304982011-08-09T16:48:25.662-07:002011-08-09T16:48:25.662-07:00Oh my, I can't imagine having to rip out that ...Oh my, I can't imagine having to rip out that large an area of stitches. Bless your heart, you did have a difficult morning. Sure hope that you and Priscilla get on better terms (or should I say that she and the thread get happy with each other!). Maybe you will need to tell said client that the thread isn't going to work?<br />JacqueSnoodleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06098194837683371037noreply@blogger.com
