Beautiful !

[Which threads do you have a love/hate relationship with?]

I love King Tut, but my machine hates it.  So, I just don't use it any more.   Glide, So Fine (all 3 types), Omni, Lava, Magnifico, Fantastico.........all fun to use.  I recently used WonderFil on a whole quilt and it worked like invisible thread.  I also had some WonderFill prewound bobbins that worked well.   King Tut, Rainbows and Highlights just don't work for me, but there are so many other choices that I don't mind.   Glide is probably my favorite.  I also use the Magna Glide Classic prewound bobbins and the Magna Glide Deluxe from time to time.   The other day I used some Super Bobs prewounds and they worked great too.   It's funny how so many of us can have the exact machine, but some threads work and some don't.  I tried everything with King Tut.........tension adjustments, Sewer's Aid............nothing worked.

[Help! a steam a seam whoops!]

I've ironed over waxed paper to "clean" the bottom of my iron.  Wonder if you put waxed paper over the area and ironed?
