Always take a self addressed, stamped (with a few stamps), padded envelope with you. Just in case you get to security and they won't let you take your scissors or something else that you don't want to have to replace. You can mail them to yourself! I always do this and haven't had to use it, but a friend told me and it's good advice!Junebug613https://www.blogger.com/profile/10214030994830504055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-21644135978955375962012-05-25T18:48:21.885-07:002012-05-25T18:48:21.885-07:00It's so frustrating when the machine goes on t...It's so frustrating when the machine goes on the fritz!

Your butterfly quilt is just so pretty, but I had to laugh when I scrolled down to the photo. I thought the thread on your photo was on my computer screen and I automatically went to pick it off. LOL. Goodness, I need a nap! So very happy to see that sweet George is on the mend! Sometimes our machines sure can be finicky. Hoping that a little tune up and change of needles does the trick. You might try holding your tongue out a bit and crossing your toes too. :)Dirt Road Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04686206587226283057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-72353437446009524122012-05-25T07:58:22.610-07:002012-05-25T07:58:22.610-07:00I have a Bernina too, but it is not at home.. like...I have a Bernina too, but it is not at home.. like yours it is in the workshop to be repared and checked over... in the middle of sewing a quilt it just said uhuh and went on strike... luckaly for you your janome is still in the house... i have to live a week without my nina...it is good to see george is getting well again, still a little raggedy but on his way to being his own self again! love reading your blog<br />hugs from the Netherlands<br /> WindaBabbellottahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17402699214625760148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-25749772533856098572012-05-24T16:41:46.528-07:002012-05-24T16:41:46.528-07:00yep try a new good quality needle...often skipped ...yep try a new good quality needle...often skipped stitches are due to the needle...buy the best you can afford and change the needle often...i to this now and have much better success.. the large needle like the suggested may help also...have fun in irelandsherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15592576771577209400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-13280299029178642682012-05-24T13:45:37.946-07:002012-05-24T13:45:37.946-07:00Tomato plants, spit her back out!

I need to learn that quilting design - I've admired it for some time.<br /><br />George does look startled by your language but it's good to hear his skin is healing.<br /><br />I have traveled many times with sewing projects and not had any problems. I just make sure NOT to carry on my fav scissors in case some one is overzealous.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00862692878882330794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-27936120809418614142012-05-24T11:31:42.465-07:002012-05-24T11:31:42.465-07:00You know Super George will save you from the Attac...You know Super George will save you from the Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.

Hopefully they will be able to fix the problem and it will be purring along once again. Your stitchery is adorable!! George is looking so much better - glad to hear he's healing. Aren't you getting excited to be on your way to Ireland? You are going to have so much fun.Stray Stitches (Linda G)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13745220686468103536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-55673392041879326712012-05-24T08:05:52.242-07:002012-05-24T08:05:52.242-07:00I waddled back up here after drifting down to the ...I waddled back up here after drifting down to the post on the bourbon-enhanced banana bread, and imbibing so much of the virtual calories that I gained twenty pounds....LOL Wow, that looked good.
