    Evening!

    zepsgal and Pernicious - glad I'm not the only one! OH isn't too bad but I think he gets a bit lazy sometimes!

    Have been looking at evil complicated sewing machine. Realised that I don't actually have an cotton the right colour for what I'm doing so it's a moot point.

    However, weirdly enough (an annoying re quilting) I don't seem to be able to lower the teeth on it? Thought that would be pretty standard on any reasonable quality machine? Manual says if my machine is equipped with such a choice, that there should be a level to the side of the bobbin housing, and nope, nothing there. :cool:

    Seems very odd that a machine that can overlock, blind hem, buttonhole and smock can't freehand?

    Any ideas guys?

    Edit: just signed up for my noddle credit report. Everything fine but it's weird seeing everything there in black and white!!

  • Evening all,

    I'm really enjoying this thread! I usually hang round over on the dfw board.

    The "What small DFW things will you do today?" thread is my optimistic morning list. This thread sounds more like what actually happens through the day :rotfl:

    My confessions:

    Last night bought (and sank) a bottle of vino using "housekeeping" money

    Going to use more housekeeping money to fund work Christmas do

    Probably eat lentils for rest of month :rotfl:


    hmmmm looking what I found loitering around the OS board..... :rotfl:

    zigs I am making a 60s inspired shift dress in pillar box red - I love the group! Inspired (and tutored by stitchy) I am about to embark on a quilt for my best friend's upcoming baby :T (well once the kitchen is done!)

    perni I have a job interview tomorrow and another one monday :j
