Der Quilt für meinen Bruder


Ja, der Quilt für meinen Bruder ist fertig geworden und auch sehr schön wenn ich das selbst mal so sagen darf.
Aber meine Maschine hat mir fast den letzten Nerv beim Quilten geraubt. Hatte mir doch so ein tolles Valdani Garn für diesen Quilt in Birmingham gekauft. Aber der Faden reißte ständig. Wechselte dann zu Madeira, das war zwar besser aber reißen tat’s auch. Also, Zähne knirschend fertig gequiltet ( hatte ja einen engen Zeitplan. Die Maschine habe ich jetzt erst mal zur Reparatur gebracht. Aufgefallen war mir das sich die Chromschicht von der Fadenführung ablöste vielleicht ist da ja schon der Fehler. Werde berichten was es ergibt. So jetzt noch das Bild vom fertigen Quilt und dann muss ich mich mal an die Hausarbeit machen





The Quilt for my Brother is finished and turned out very nice if I can say so myself.
Still my machine was driving me crazy quilting this Baby. I bought some nice Valdani Thread at the FoQ for this Quilt. But the thread was breaking constantly. So I switched to Madeira thinking my machine didn't like the Valdani thread. Wrong, the Madeira thread broke to not as much as the Valdani still enough to make me crawl up the wall. So I finished the Quilt having a bad time. ( but had to finish since there was that time limit) Took the machine to the shop and hope they can fix the problem. Looking at the machine a little close I could see that the chromium coating is peeling off from the thread guide. May be that could have caused the problem. Lets see what the technician can find out. I will keep you posted. Now real quick the picture from the Quilt and than I have to get some housework done.
