Sewing Machine Ghost, ideas on excorsism and your opinions please
I am sewing away just fine at receiving blankets and bibs when I notice that
the top thread is just laying there on the bib, and so I peeked at the the bottom thread so also see it just laying there. Now the SM was working just perfectly a few seconds ago. Then I notice that the thread isn't even going through the needle; it comes straight out of the top of the SM and goes to the fabric bypassing the needle. And I know perfectly well that I threaded that needle because (a) I remeber doing it and (b) I have proof in front of me that shows that the SM was sewing just a few minutes ago. How can the thread sew perfectly one minute and then bypass the eye of the needle the next minute? I need a strong drink. cyndi |

damaged eye on needle or you already had
a strong drink!

You need to perform the proper ritual with a rotary cutter and a FQ of
fabric. If you don't know the proper ritual, you can send me the FQ, and I will perform it for you. -- Wendy http://griffinsflight.com/Quilting/quilt1.htm de-fang email address to reply "Quil" wrote in message ...

You will notice that Wendy never offers to post directions to this elusive
ritual? It must be performed just so to work. Maybe you need to send more than one FQ to make sure she does it right the first time? :-) Diana, who knows but aint tellin' either -- Queen of FAQs Royal Peace Maker http://photos.yahoo.com/lunamom44 "frood" wrote in message . com...

It's just so hard to translate the ancient languages into ASCII. Plus,
there's hand gestures involved. -- Wendy http://griffinsflight.com/Quilting/quilt1.htm de-fang email address to reply "Diana Curtis" wrote in message ...

You mean other than the gesture I gave the SM when it died on me in the
middle of a project? cyndi "frood" It's just so hard to translate the ancient languages into ASCII. Plus, there's hand gestures involved. |

Know the feeling! My thread always seems to slip off of the thingy that goes
up and down (needle still threaded) so thread gets knotted up at beginning (both old and newest sm). And dont you hate it when you sew a whole seam only to find the bobbin is empty -- Kathy in CA Quilting Stuff: http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/kathys1068 "Quil" wrote in message ...

Did you pick up a pack of those needles for the vision-impaired by mistake?
They have a gap in one side for easy threading (and unthreading!) Roberta in D "Quil" wrote in message ...

If your sewing machine dies on you in the middle of the project, you are
definately doing the wrong hand gestures! -- Wendy http://griffinsflight.com/Quilting/quilt1.htm de-fang email address to reply "Quil" wrote in message ...
