Mary Beth Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 I did not think this day would ever get here. My first quilt has been loaded. It took me a little longer than it use to in the old days, but it it is loaded. I will be using a panto. It is also loaded. I forgot what it felt like trying to unroll a new panto and load it on the table. Like wrestling an elephant. The correct thread is on the machine with the right color bobbin. Yay!! Sometime tomorrow I will quilt. I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like your little (guard) duck. This duck has special meaning. It was on my Millie too. I won't go into details, because I don't want to be a Debbie Downer....but let's just say, my set up was not complete until my Aflac Duck was in place.

Mary Beth Posted March 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Well, I put a prewound bobbin in, did the drop test, then started. The bobbin was not right, and I did not try it out on the side of the quilt. I quilted about 6" across the quilt and realized what I had done. I reached under the quilt and WHEW!!! What a mess. I turned it off and walked away, because I can . Tonight we go to a knee replacement class for Rod. When I have time, I will finish ripping out, and begin again.

quiltedsunflower Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 It certainly is nice to quilt with no pressure. Sometimes I even laugh at myself when I screw up. If I was quilting for $$$, I don't think I could do that. Happy Froggin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
