Are going to be wound -
Because I quilted some red in the blue rectangle -
Under the red square and brown rectangle in the photo below -
And it looked AWFUL -
So I ripped it out -
I decided to change colors in different areas -
I want the quilting to "show" but not "SHOW" -
If you know what I mean - LOL -
And the red SHOWS a little too much on the blue -
I also decided to use my 100% cotton thread -
Instead of the polyester cone thread that I used for the ditch quilting -
I used cotton thread on the last few that I quilted -
And realized that the polyester thread was probably the main cause of my tension problems -
Besides - I have cotton in LOTS of colors -
So problem(s) solved - LOL - ;))
Today is Friday the 13th -
So I plan to do a couple of "chores" in the morning -
And then spend the afternoon SEWINGGGGGGGGGG -
Crossing my fingers that all goes well -
And that Murphy leave me alone - LOL - ;))
Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -

I don't suffer from triskaidekaphobia, so I never worry about Friday the 13th.
Changing thread that many times will slow you down for sure. Be sure to watch the tension.
Nothing slows you down, Kitty! I wait until the bobbin runs out and continues to go through the motions of sewing for a couple feet before I notice. Now that really slows me down!
I didn't notice it was Friday the 13th, my thought when I saw it was the 13th is the month is almost half over so I'd better get busy!
I like matching thread better too if possible and cotton thread is a good match with cotton fabric. Sometimes polyester is a little too shiny.
Those are lovely fabrics. The threads will blend in really nicely, too. I'm like Barbara. I've got sewing with no bobbin thread down to a fine art. Lol
