I dread having the bobbin run out since then I have to fiddle with it again! The thread always seems to wrap around the spindle that the bobbin is on rather than the bobbin itself... I have a convoluted strategy that after a few tries usually results in another full bobbin and reprive from dealing with it.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12545547960684071640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4279137714915877752.post-33486440653589547352011-12-16T15:00:47.522+00:002011-12-16T15:00:47.522+00:00I haven't try quilting, maybe I should start w...I haven't try quilting, maybe I should start with mini quilt.<br />Thanks for the generous giveaway and a chance to win!jqluohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08080868593187817850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4279137714915877752.post-48333948292278122262011-12-16T14:06:48.593+00:002011-12-16T14:06:48.593+00:00Free motion quilting is scary, I have had some ba...Free motion quilting is scary, I have had some bad experiences, but really want to learn.
