hehe Cindydog mmmm only lit it for 1/2 hour to cook tea anyway but that 1/2 hour keeps the water hot, we will see what happens :)

Have you got any done tonight Twilight ?

coalrange1 - 2009-12-27 21:44:00

Twilight that pic i put up before, did you look at the quilting on it. I kept going around in circles like that by mistake when i was trying to do another pattern, so im going to do the same as the pic :)

Sweetdreamz Twilight :) talk 2moro.

All the best Liz, have a good trip (should of said it earlier shes probably asleep with such an early start )

coalrange1 - 2009-12-27 22:17:00

twilight23 - 2009-12-27 22:34:00

Goodmorning all, its Monday today - just reminding myself totally lost track of what day it is !!!

coalrange1 - 2009-12-28 08:06:00

morning everyone
beaut day here just been walking the dog
no housework today only 1 load of washing and then its sewing yay
but first a quick look around in here while i have brekkie

twilight23 - 2009-12-28 09:19:00

Oh the washing hehe thanks Twilight wouldnt of thought of it - ok thats done now, done some shopping, little bit of housework....just having a cuppa then sewing, got a quilt out, picked cottons, threaded bobbins so already to start :)

coalrange1 - 2009-12-28 10:21:00

Just had a phone call from some guy, qualified at trade wanting job, i asked if he wanted hubbys cell phone number - no he says tell him to ring me if he hears of anything ......hmmm so i spose he would want us to run around after him - pick him up for work oh and i could even pack his lunch !!!!! lol

coalrange1 - 2009-12-28 10:57:00

Are you sewing Twilight ???
I havent actually started yet !!! will try again now.......oooooh you want some real Christmas cake tis good, i could pass you some if you are busy sewing, otherwise you will have to come get some :)

coalrange1 - 2009-12-28 12:22:00

yep im free quilting tis fun lol, the quicker you go the better the design lol hehe, if you go to slow it goes all funny
done the washing but now its raining which is good for the garden but not the washing, its that lovely fine rain,
that guy that rang about work how dumb is that,obvious hes not that worryed about a job
iv also watched a movie with my daughter it was *ps, i love you* iv also read the book which was a bit differant , very sad movie we were both setting there with tears

twilight23 - 2009-12-28 13:01:00

maybe thats what im doing wrong - going too slow, and im doing it too little !!!!
you and your holden motor lol
i will try again ;)

will keep playing, told the girls i may just spend the evening unpicking hahaha

coalrange1 - 2009-12-28 13:43:00

i thought the stitch lenght shoud be the longest stitch i read that somewere will go and look

twilight23 - 2009-12-28 14:03:00

my manual says work from the center outwards, do not work the lines of sewing too close together, only move backwards,forwards and sideways

twilight23 - 2009-12-28 14:13:00

the same thread should be in the bobbin and the machine, if two different threads are used the tension will be wrong but you know this already lol hehe

twilight23 - 2009-12-28 14:15:00

i have a button on my machine that i have to press for this quilting and its *reduced sewing speed*,when the foot control is completly pressed down the machine will run at half sewing speed , do you have that coalrange
