Tense
Hello on a Wednesday. Just a bit tense in the studio this forenoon. I have been working on making a banner by loading individual letters for embroidery. After each letter is stitched the fabric needs to come out of the hoop for re-alignment. What helps is that I have marking pens to be used on the fabric. The markings disappear if a hot iron is used on it. They are called Frixion Ball Clicker. Very handy for alignment.
Today I was on to the letter “M” in the banner of “HOME.” I do have the largest hoop of Bernina’s. I had to scrunch a bit to make it fit the hoop’s ability to stitch. I didn’t stray far from the machine as bobbins do need to be exchanged for full ones. I have put a new needle in with each letter. A double backing of stabilizer has also been used and the stitching is laying totally flat. No puckering even with each letter being 42,000 stitches.
I have one more letter to stitch. My strip of fabric is diminishing. I am going to stitch a piece of junk fabric onto that far end so the hoop will have ample room to stitch fairly close to the end of my fabric of choice.
I did manage to check the furnace filter as well as cleaning the dehumidifier filter. It is a multi-layered stainless steel screen and it is surprising how much lint, fuzz and thread it catches.
Dennis took a late morning nap and I will catch up with him later today. Even with the heater on blowing warm air over my legs, I am posting a bit early and then closing down the studio. It is showing 28 degrees outside and here in the studio it is 62. Very doable when I am moving about.
With that I take my leave. ♥
