However, my usually trusty Janome MC6500 is still acting up. I did all the checks, thread, new needles, tensions, cleaned, dusted, and even solved this snarl along the way (how did it DO that...look closely - giganto snarl all over the top!) OK, I can fix that part, but it's going back to the shop Monday. I'm disheartened to have my machine uncooperative and been unable to do any machine quilting since it came home from the shop months ago, only straight sewing, so, something is still not right. Exasperating - can only take a few inches of stitches, the thread skips, breaks, etc. Groannnnn,
However, I DO have the required 72 blocks made for Bonnie Hunter's "Texas Tumbleweeds" but when I get back to it, I'm going to name it "Tornadoes and Tumbleweeds". We've had many, many storms, tornado watches and warnings, and rain which is almost always accompanied by hail. We have tumbleweeds here as well.
