quilting problems

     Katie's quilt was coming along nicely until last night. Well, maybe it was Saturday. I had previously made my own dead bar for my quilting frame. It seemed to be working but now my thread is breaking all the time. I changed needles twice. Threaded and rethreaded, changed bobbins, took apart the tension thingy. I don't want to, but I  might have to take the dead bar off.
     It is discouraging but I must be brave and figure this out once and for all. That is what I thought I was doing last night...I kept leaving and coming back. I will try again tonight, sans deadbar. I want to finish this quilt so I can quilt a mystery quilt. I don't want mom showing me up. : )

  1. I bought different thread (cotton instead of poly) and it is not breaking like the other stuff. Katie's quilt is about half done. I still have to buy more thread as the only size in the proper color were the skinny ones. I bought 2 but one is already gone. I need to get this quilt done because Katie will be home for spring break on Friday night. Sew baby sew!
