Then I started the machine applique and this is what I got. Sigh. So, the blocks are almost compete with just the corners still left to applique down. I will take this machine in for servicing this week. It was working perfectly last week for some machine quilting.
There is a lot of pressure to focus on completing just one specific goal in a lifestyle that just does what it feels like when I feel like it. Maybe this being retired thing is not as productive as it could be.

How frustrating! I have more than one sewing machine, so I could just substitute another machine. Maybe you should get a backup machine. Hope it doesn't take long to get your machine cleaned/repaired. Blessings, Gretchen
ReplyDeleteI actually have 11 machines but 4 of them are featherweights, a treadle and 3 other antiques and none of them do a zig zag. I will bring out the Baby Brother and see how it works for the machine applique.
DeleteYour blocks look gorgeous on your design wall!
ReplyDeleteSo frustrating when the sewing machine misbehaves like that.
Each time I put them up on the wall, I get excited and want to just keep going, but reality kicks in and reminds me of all the other more important things that have to get done this month. The machine will be back by the end of the week.
DeleteI enjoyed seeing your B. Biggs blocks. Reminds me that I never ordered any background fabric for the quilt. I so want to make it.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I had enough background fabric in my cupboard and lots of leftover fabric from another quilt so I jumped right in.
DeleteA pleasure to see your Biggs Blocks progressing so well, but what a bummer about your naughty machine! Hope you are able to get a great zigzag again soon@!
