it wouldn't even try until I changed the needle in last resort, but then slogs along with cotton threads

I've been taking a lot of photos in anticipation of finding a class to teach me more about amending photos.
Where is that class? the one that caters to the non- tech person?
wow couldn't be easier to paint... could be done on fabric too...
I'll be working on my dragonfly center this week hopefully, God willing and machine don't faillinking to

Yes, everyday is a fresh start. I love that.
Glad that you were able to rescue your machine. Love the dragonfly blocks on your design wall. Looks like your new year is a lovely fresh start.
Beautiful and charming, even without beads!
So true, very inspirational and pretty quilt.
Love your beautiful new project and the quote!
Metallic thread is such a temptation, but oh, so temperamental. My own PQ 17-1 includes metallic thread. Finally, it went through like a dream. My trick(s). 1. I used a metallic needle with a big eye. I think it was size 90. 2. Put 6 lines of Sew Aid down the spool. Forget the instructions to use sparingly. 3. My Bernina has two tiny sponges atop the machine just before you start threading it. They are there to add Sew Aid. I add 2 - 3 drops. 4. Actually, it should be number 1, I had just done my regular maintenance clean out of the machine and oil, remove lint accumulation and stray thread.
So glad you persisted and got the machine back in order. It's a lovely interpretation of this week's PQ.
This is glorious! Love the color. (And I used to paint on fabric all the time. I should do that again!)
What a great creation. So pretty and sparkly. I need to decide on a center square for SAHRR also.
