I have the quilt all sewn and quilted. All that is left now is the binding. This also took me quite some time. I had some trouble with my Singer sewing machine which was my mother-in-laws. I just could not part with that and my husband had it stretched into a longarm. I don't use this often enough and it was working fine and then I wound a bobbin and then it just would not sew a stitch. I ended up taking apart the clutch on the machine and I cleaned it out really well and put in new grease. I noticed that the one-piece inside might not be original. The little silver locking ring that has the three little knobs that stick out doesn't look like an original part. I put it back together and it still would not run. I had read some articles on it and it said if you put it together and it won't run try putting on that locking ring and giving it a turn. Now with the three knobs, it can set in place three different ways. I could not believe this would make a difference, but I opened it back up and turned the locking ring one turn and put it back together and then it ran perfectly again. I know some of you ladies won't understand anything I just said, but there might be a few out there that will take their machines apart. I would of never guessed this would work. For the rest of the quilt, I filled the bobbins on my Janome 10,000 because I didn't want this to happen again. I didn't know if that would work either, but this also worked great.
I love to sew and happily love to teach my hobby. Enjoy my site and watch my sewing tutorials!
