Hello!! What a frustrating day yesterday. As I was finishing a block, my sewing machine started making a grinding noise. Having very little knowledge of sewing machines, I tried to pinpoint where the noise was coming from. I figured out it was happening when I hand turned the balance wheel. So I did what I was supposed to and cleaned the nesseccary parts of my machine and oiled them as well. I also changed threads because the spool I was using had run out. I ran the machine with no threads in, to get the oil into the parts it needed to be in, and then threaded the machine and it continued to make the irratating grinding noise! So I put in another spool of thread, one less as thick, and that seems to have cured the grinding for the time being.
I'm sure this little adventure of mine is quite boring to a expert quilter, but none the less was frustrating for me!
I'm working on a block now called "Anvil" I have most of the pieces cut, and will be piecing them tonight if I get the time. Most of my quilting time depends on my almost 10 month old baby and if she will cooperate!
Until next time, which will hopefully have some pictures as well,
Take care and God Bless!
