Starting over -

 

 

At the top - 

 

Of the list of possible causes of the thread breaking - 

 

On the Opal KaBloom panel - 

 

I changed to the GOLD thread - 

 

And loosened the top thread tension just a bit - 

 

To stitch the first round of petals - 

 

 

I can see now that I missed the GOLD part near the center at the bottom - 

But that's easy enough to fix tomorrow - 

Before I change to the next color -

 

And I also forgot to put the clamps on the front rail - 

 

So that may have helped the "tension" too -

 

I don't want to jinx it - 

But the first round seemed to go fairly well - 

So I took a break to watch the game - 

 

And we'll see what happens tomorrow - ;))

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
