    Sorry Im not able to help with your sewing machine prob Dizzy:o I hope someone here will soon come and rescue you soon though :o.
    As promised earlier some pic's of the quilt I have to finish doing for my friend. I managed 3 before my camera battery went (I must remember to recharge it sometimes :rotfl:)

    One side is navy and the other a peach colour. She had pinned the little joining strips on 2 sqares so I know what to do but its like a jigsaw puzzle, I have to work out what bit goes where to make the correct pattern.

    @dizzytina, I seem to remember reading something about incorrect tension causing problems with slipped stitches.
    I have had a productive morning and managed to make 3 cushions and their covers. Now every seat has a cushion :D
    Sue, that quilt is going to be beautiful. Good luck and well done for taking it on.

    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2949198 I dont have a blog. Keep meaning to, but never got around to it. Will also need to think about Website/to sell eventually. But dont produce enough stuff on a regular basis yet.!
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    Thanks,:T i have made a few lately all but one sold on ebay. Then I have had a few commissions to start to make. Its been thanks to the people here on MSE that i have had the courage to sell things. although at least half of the bags have gone to other MSE'rs looking me up on ebay!
    I hope I can get the energy to do some more, very soon, as I would like to get them sorted before I go on holiday on monday, but realistically the way my health has been this week, I am not so sure. I also need to learn how to use the camera better! I might be able to show things off in a better light, and be able to sell other things too!! :o
