Here's to a happy and healthy New Year to you all.
I spent New Year's Eve with my pets and my projects. I set up the embroidery machine, which runs great right out of the box. My testing would have been complete if I had stabilizer for my test. The doubled cotton fabric did not work. My upper thread broke twice and I think that was the machine's way of telling me it was not happy. I turned it off and I'm waiting for stabilizer supplies before I test her again. She needs a name and a home. I can work out those two questions while I am waiting for supplies to use her and finishing quilting the Pretty in Pink quilt.
The Pretty In Pink quilt is pin basted and ready to be quilted. Here is a sample sandwich I did with the Bernina 1530 and her new walking foot. These are pictures of the both sides, but for the life of me the stitching is so sweet, I can't tell the top from the bottom. I should have used different fabric or thread for one or the other. Oh, well. All in all, I'm very happy with that Bernina walking foot purchase.
I'm off to finish cleaning my oven (I sprayed cleaner in it two hours ago and it's time to wipe it all out) and then I can start quilting. See you soon.
