The First of The Five


Twin One got loaded on the frame......



















Quilted!





















Taken off and quilted a bit more......... in the centers of the flower wreaths.


















Bound and boxed! I need to hurry and get it to FedEx. Karen has decided that there's been a huge mistake and it's supposed to be for HER bed. Just say'n..... Those are some pretty blocks!!







































Jane (my plain Jane Janome 1600 that I use for quilting and binding) suffered a Work Related Injury when she and my tether on one side got tangled and my spool pin snapped. I have yet to locate any sort of solution online. I'm thinking about calling a Janome dealer, but if there is no inexpensive solution? I plan to first attempt to glue it. If that is a Fail, then I will sand down the nub that is left, and see if I can put a thin wooden square there (superglue?) with a new spool pin sticking up from it. Even a silly long nail would do. Just something to act like a spool pin. There are supposed to be two, so that you can rewind and replace bobbins without having to go through
the tortures of the doomed the tedious process of rethreading every three passes across the quilt (the bobbins run out fast!)....


















She's still running fine, so we'll just keep on quilting while we figure out what to do about the spool pin!

WOW!!!! That looks fantastic!!!! You did a fantastic job. Just think what you can do on an HQ16. :)

OUCH!!!! Poor Janome. I think glue is your only option without having the case replaced.

I am applying superglue later this morning! Wish me luck!

Superglue worked! Superglue and duct tape and WD40 - Can't live without them!
