So far so good. The tape goes on top of the bobbin cover with just a bit on
the sewing machine itself. It hasn't slipped yet when I removed the cover to remove the bobbin. It was nice to get the right width of seam on the machine for a change. I reallllllly miss my 43-year-old White. "Julia in MN" wrote in message ... My Elna has the bobbin in front of the needle. It's easy to flip the quilt up over the top of the machine to change the bobbin. Can you position the tape on the bobbin cover only so you don't have to remove it? Or use a smaller piece of tape? |

Polly, I have a 2000 Saturn and when the windshield wipers quit working, my
poor mechanic was embarrassed to tell me it would cost over $500 to fix because you had to take the whole darn thing apart and the replacement had to be bought from the dealer. He's been taking care of our cars for 22 years and I felt sorrier for him than I did for me. He hates buying anything from dealers! Designers . . . gotta love 'um cause we can't kill 'em. "Polly Esther" wrote in message ... Probably was the same person who designed a car we once had. The entire dashboard had to be removed to work on the air conditioner. I'm just so glad you decided to conquer that SM. Hand-piecing is lovely but sometimes you need speed. Polly |

hand piecing and quilting
That was my first thought. After spending an hour looking for the Post-It
Notes I decided to use the medical tape I had used for my husband while he was still with me. Don't know if that was a good idea since it brings back memories, but it is working so maybe it was what I should be using. Yes, after going through all that I finally found the Post-It Notes! I'll use them to replace the tape when the tape shifts or won't work anymore. "KJ" wrote in message news:6Y26m.779846$yE1.225568@attbi_s21... Mark your line with a dot of marker. Then grab some Post It notes (about 10) to make yourself a little wall/dam to control your 1/4" seam line. The Post Its can easily be removed to change the bobbin. And when the bottom one no longer stick, remove it and use the next one. |

Mary isn't a newbie PAT. She knows all about you and your chocolate!
.. In message , Pat in Virginia writes Mary: While I have been doing mostly machine quilting, I have been wanting to improve my hand quilting skills and use that technique more often. This week I was able to sew again (I had surgery about 6 weeks ago) and I got back to a nice WH I started a while back. My original plan was to HQ this one. I am glad to say that I added the borders, made the backing, and basted the project. I will not be able to HQ for awhile; that would stress my shoulder too much. So, this one will be another MQ project. Sooner or later, I WILL pick up the HQ needle again! Meantime, I am enjoying my quilting however it happens. Pat in Virginia, Official Chocolate Taster of RCTQ PS: Welcome to RCTQ. We have fun here. The only thing you really need to know is how to have your chocolate vetted. Just send a pound or two to the Office of the Official Chocolate Taster of RCTQ, in my Palace here in Virginia. I will test and taste and report back via email. You don't have to thank me ... this is my unselfish volunteer duty in RCTQ. A tough job, but someone's gotta do it. -- Best Regards pat on the hill |

The good thing about the Post Its is they won't leave as much residual
adhesive as many kinds of tape. Painters tape works well too. I've seen a demo of taking an exacto -type knife and slicing through several layers of painters tape about two inches apart. Then peel off that "stack" and use as the "dam/fence". -- Kathyl (KJ) remove "nospam" before mchsi http://community.webshots.com/user/kathylquiltz "Phyllis Nilsson" wrote in message ...
