Appreciation Day
Today was showing appreciation and love to my sewing machine. My sewing machine is a work-horse. It has given me so much joy and contentment over the last seven plus years.
After all the lights and KNUJ were on, it was time to pull out my tool box for the sewing machine. Nothing sews better than an oiled machine. Underneath and topside my syringe-looking oil can did its duty. Tiny threads no larger than the tail on a flea were rousted. The surgical tweezers got them all. The dual feed foot got a going over as well. A tiny screw that can wiggle loose with each stitch the machine takes got a bit of tightening. The dual feed can be engaged as the feed dogs move to allow motion under the needle, this acts as additional feed dogs right behind the needle to help things move along. The last thing was to put in a new needle. Needles are so cheap with tips so small, whatever I am working on deserves for the thread in each stitch to be done to its best.
I didn’t get much stitching done in the studio. I do have notations as to what amount of the corks need to be met up with the correct size of zipper. That alone makes the next visit to the studio enjoyable.
Last night we enjoyed our usual Sunday night supper of sharing a 12″ tuna sub. Very tasty and fresh. This evening, we are having a skillet meal that I am in charge of. I man the skillet and Dennis takes charge of the dishes afterwards. Well . . . that’s because I wouldn’t do them correctly.
With that I will take my leave. ♥
