One of my favorite things in the world is to hang laundry on the line outside. No, I'm not kidding. Yes, I too have heard that medication could help.
Wait! Where are the clothes? IT WAS SNOWING, Y'ALL!!! In April! On my clean clothes! I am a terrible photographer and couldn't get the falling snowflakes to show up on the iPhone. They were really cool snowflakes, by the way; they were like little styrofoam pellets. Odd.
Since laundry isn't my favorite thing this week (stupid snow!), I will have to talk about a different favorite thing: thread. DecoBob from WonderFil especially.
I love this as a bobbin thread for quilting, in the needle and/or the bobbin, but I want to love this as a piecing thread. I never did.
It didn't make a great stitch:
The ends of the stitching came apart easily:
And the threads sometimes pulled out completely:
Like I said: not love at first piece.
Last week in Australia I mentioned my troubles to the fella at the WonderFil booth at AQC. H told me that I had to tighten my tension to make a better stitch and lock them together. He also suggested that I use a shorter stitch length. I made both adjustments today and...
I LOVE IT!
Look at that beautiful stitch:
The ends are holding together:
I am officially in love:
I am now home from Australia, my body is almost back in the western hemisphere, I have a suitcase full of dirty clothes, and it's April. I'm obviously going to wash all of those clothes and hang them on the line.
