What To Sew?

Since reorganizing my space, I have been having a difficult time deciding what to sew.  There are so many unfinished projects.  Idea’s for new projects.  Refashions I want to attempt.

I worked on a quilt for my niece Anna the other day.  It was started at a workshop with Joe Cunningham in the spring.  Got the first border on. Still deciding on what to do with it next.  Will post pics when done.

20151128_123657Started working on a refashion of a pair of hiking pants into a hiking skirt then bam, figuratively not literally, my machine jams.  Generally when this happens its thread where it shouldn’t be or a jam in the bobbin case.  Not this time.

I am not afraid of taking things apart, which I did. But I cannot easily see the problem.  So, I’m going to have to take it in to the shop.  This is when I wish they were open 24/7.  So bummed.  I do have other machines that I can use but it’s not the same.  This is my Husky #1+ (that is the model, not just what I call it).   I love this machine.  I have had it approximately 20 years.  I don’t want to purchase another one.  Hopefully it’s fixable.

UPDATE: My husband asked what was up as my machine was apart on my ironing surface. I went in to show him as he got a pair of glasses. And whala, whatever was jamming the machine was gone. I guess I got it loose while looking at it. I have since cleaned out all the lint. Put it back together. It sounds and runs fine.  But I’m going to take it in to have it looked at.
