Your little sewing machine is cute, as is the "love me, love my cat" stitchery!! And your harvest themed doll swap is darling!! Thanks for sharing the pattern for that one -- I've already saved it and the instructions!!

I had a similar sewing problem this morning (yup, just this morning, LOL)and after exhausting EVERY "standard" fix, finally decided to slightly tighten the bobbin (because it was the ONLY thing I hadn't done-2 or 3 times, and I have never adjusted it before...) so I held my breath and did it. It fixed the problem...NO clue why. Same thread, working on the same piece, doing the same FMQ..There should be NO reason it had changed or needed to be changed, but changing it made everything work right.

Without me altering the tension whatsoever. It's maddening. giddy99https://www.blogger.com/profile/09608060511419621133noreply@blogger.com
