The learning curve with my Bernina sewing machine has been huge, and I wouldn’t missed it for anything. The project I am currently working on will be my most challenging for quite some time. It isn’t about lining up blocks and then sewing. I am incorporating the embroidered blocks with printed sentiments of various sizes, and still having points meet up: Lena’s lesson number one.
Even finding products to use for the embroidery has been a good lesson. Finding tubes of sticky stabilizer of Sulky 12″ x 6′ at a premium price in JoAnn Fabric, compared to ordering off of Amazon and receiving a roll of 12″ x 50′, is downright a godsend. I began using the Amazon roll the day it came in the mail and it does the same job.
So much more to learn . . . taking it day by day, enjoying every bit of it. I am also enjoying Dennis’ command of the kitchen. Today a frozen package of squash became a fragrant custard type baked dessert. The challenge today was using up honey that needed to be heated and used as a substitute for sugar. I may have to enter Dennis into a competition.
