Yesterday I had so many hopes…that I will quilt the Jewel Box quilt. But my industrial machine doesn’t want to sew at all, no matter how many efforts I have made. I changed the needles, I adjusted the tension of thread countless times, I used my best thread- NOTHING – the thread keeps breaking !
After one hour of struggles and one block quilted, I folded the quilt and I put it back in the closet. Tomorrow I have to call the mechanic because I don’t know what else to do.
I waste a lot of time when the machine doesn’t sew !
Look at these pieces how nice the same machine quilted them, a few days ago (I did not applique the dots, it’s just a beautiful fabric).
I am working on a new pattern – a summer tote ! I made the prototype and I started to make samples ! So many possibilities – now I am making the quilted ones! And these are only two of them.

I'm sorry for all your frustration. I've had days like that too, when nothing seems to correct the problem. Often it seems to solve itself overnight and I never know what was going on. Don't know if that is good or bad!

I share your pain. My machine is doing the same thing, only it works fine on my practice swatch. Like you I am turning off the machine and going for a walk.

I just love your work, Geta! So sorry your machine's acting up. Very frustrating!!

Just catching up on my blog reading…sure hope you can get your machine repaired without too much trouble. I just hate it when that happens.

OH Geta your frustration is felt all the way here. Sure hope you get that beast back on track soon. With lovely quilting such as yours, there should be nothing but song flowing from that needle 🙂 Regards… Peg
