So sorry that WTF has happened, I hate that. And I believe the correct technical term for what happened is "Bobbin Barf".<br />The silk pieces from Mongolia are so beautiful!

When this happens to one of my machine embroidery projects it usually means I have to start completely over because I'm just not up for trying to remove 3,000 stitches!

My machine has done that to me too many times and I've progressed past WTF to other words. I have rethreaded my machine many times to try to correct the problem and sometimes that works, other times NOPE! Hope you figure out what changed. Love the beautiful work made of silk, they are talented indeed. I probably would have bought something just to say I have it. What an incredible talent these ladies have shown. Good luck keeping the fur dude off his quilt. Hope the machine is nice today.Sher S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08702116395166557627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-76355820042143307752015-03-18T04:19:42.551-07:002015-03-18T04:19:42.551-07:00When the tension seems to mysteriously change....c...When the tension seems to mysteriously change....check the bobbin case. Some bit of lint or batting fiber has probably worked its way in to the bobbin case....right in the tiny spring area that puts tension on the bobbin thread. I some times have to use a pin to pry it out from under the spring arm. Remember---no tension on bobbin means ugly mess on quilt!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14418828972427644899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-189643791399399892015-03-18T03:51:21.630-07:002015-03-18T03:51:21.630-07:00Burning silk for heating, I'm glad they found ...Burning silk for heating, I'm glad they found a different way to use them. Those log cabins are so beautiful. I've had a few WTF's lately, my repairman comes to town next month and I'm trying to be patient, meanwhile I just keep rethreading and cleaning the lint, it seems to help.

The quilting you've done so far looks great - the WTF day/curse will be gone by tomorrow. (Did you forget to wear green today? Maybe that's what it was).<br /><br />Beautiful work by the Mongolian ladies. And to be working with silk which is a raveling nightmare shows they are very talented indeed. Love the log cabin blocks that swirl so nicely.<br /><br />Teresa F.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-314919688916541962015-03-17T15:41:21.713-07:002015-03-17T15:41:21.713-07:00Unfortunately I've had my share of WTF days bu...Unfortunately I've had my share of WTF days but thankfully tomorrow is always another day. Check your threading. I have had this problem a couple times when I have missed a guide, or slipped out of the collar that's above the needle. If the threading looks good, check to see if your bobbin is wound a little 'sloppy' as I've had that issue, too. Good luck! You're cats are looking cute, especially the big one with the white footies and long tail.Mareihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17405291914328515413noreply@blogger.com
