Loaded -

 
 
Today I loaded the backing - 
 
For my Upstairs/Downstairs - Pastel Brights
 
And cut the batting - 
 
 
I decided to use a LIGHT YELLOW cone thread - 
 
Since the MAIN diagonal on this one is YELLOW - 
 
And I think it will blend in pretty well - 

 
Tomorrow I'll baste the batting and top down - 
 
Wind a few bobbins - 
 
Test and set the bobbin case tension - 
 
Then play with the top tension to get it as "perfect" as I can - 
 
Because I didn't want to do all of that today - 

And because I haven't actually SEWN anything in a while - 

I made another set of strata - 

For my Upstairs/Downstairs - Marigold -

 
I put the rest of the sets - 
 
In a basket next to the sewing machine - 
 
All ready to go - 

 
I'll use these as "tweens" - 
 
The odd-ball stuff that is pretty mindless - 
 
That I can sew beTWEEN other things -
 
When I just want to SEW something -
 
And not have to think about it much - ;))
 


Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -

I find it interesting that I have never had to adjust my bobbin tensions on the domestic machines I have had.

The strata will certainly give you something different to do in the "tween" times.

I am glad you got the Pastel Brights loaded.

The yellow thread will look great. Much prefer tweens to anything else.
