I am so happy to hear your machine is finally working. I know you were beyond stressed. It is so frustrating that the tech found the burrs when his boss was "watching" but not on the previous visits. Good luck getting everything done before you leave.goteamwood said:
This is so strange to hear about different machines from the same manufacturers.NiniMorris said:
This dress came out so nice and your DD is so smart, why wait - let's go NOW!DisneyMom5 said:
I am doing the happy dance for you. I am glad you finally got a resolution. Sorry you had to go through all of the headaches to get there. It is unbelievable. As much as these machines cost it seems they would want people happy with them so they would tell others. Good luck with all of the work you need to get done before this weekend.
I'm so upset. It's even doing it with "their" thread since they've insisted mine is all bad. It's not the design since its the same design I did 3 of last night. I'm
Spoke too soon evidently. I was able to get 4 shirts done yesterday. Age today I worked for 5 hours and got zero because its back to breaking thread every few stitches.
So ready for this to be done. The amount of time away from my family, accomplishing nothing, the stress and the tears are just not worth the meager $ I've made.
I think it definitely has a tension issue at the heart of the problem. The shirts I did finish were solid color on the back, not the white in the middle if that makes sense. I tried to adjust the tension up on the top thread as the manual suggested (both on the one design and universally) but it didn't make a difference with the breakage or the ratio of bobbin-to-top thread on the back. The manual says too little tension on top causes breakage and loops which I have both. I also have where it "skips" a stitch, mostly in the tack down steps and its like the bottom thread didn't catch that one stitch and then it sort of recovers and keeps going. I can hear a click sound when the thread breaks or it skips. I have to sit and watch every single stitch.

, add in a dentist appointment for my aunt and a doctor appointment for my mother. Oh, and did I mention that my groupon for my photobooks expires today. 
Some of you know me on FB and have seen this already, but I just had to share...I made my FIRST Disney Custom EVER yesterday!
DD7 was thrilled. I said "Your Disney AK outfit is done!" She said "Great. Let's go now." LOL
I have one more identical outfit to make for dd3, and then I'm going to attempt some hand appliqued shirts.
I'm kicking myself because the fabric was on clearance and I didn't buy more. Such a fun fabric.
I was really "cutting it close" on getting the two outfits out of it.
I plan on using some pieces left over to make Mickey heads for the rest of us girls.

Well, I haven't been posting 'cause I was at Disney World! I may not have been the most magical of vacations (more on that later when I have the time), but now it's over.
However, right before I left, a guy I used to work for asked me if I could do some puppet costumes by the end of June. I said, "sure, I'll be gone most of June, but I can do it the last week when I get back" Three puppet costumes in a week - no problem. Oh, you need two hunters? Four puppet costumes in a week, ok. Now let's throw in a quick trip to Omaha (2 hours each way) to the bank to fix my screw-up (this will be further explained in the later not-so-magical post) and to help my son pick out an engagement ring
Whew! What am I doing on the computer? I'm supposed to be looking up pictures of the grandfather for Peter and the Wolf. Guess I'll get back to that, but I'll leave you with the Peter costume which I finished a few minutes ago. (Well, I want to make him a hat, but the main part is finished.)

Sorry someone asked if you're pregnant. People should learn that question is never ok.

I usually wear a L in shirts, so the way that top fits is just bizarre! I haven't had time to go back and re-work mine yet and sadly probably won't until next summer the way things look.
Just popping in with a very quick hello
