Oh nooo

As I worked, I never got a full day of sewing. When I got a little time to do, there'll always be some interuptions. "Mom, where's my crayon... mom, can I get my tea now... mom, Ipus is missing.." and so on. Pfiuuh.. *wiping my sweat*
Now the bulk of the unfinished quilts increased. I'm not a weigh lifter, so I had to slow down and do another house work after each episode of sewing rows together. (Surely, I need a studio/quilting room to make it easy to finish all quilts... *pray!*)

Oh noo... look, who sewed that?
Sweetheart, did you sew those lines??
Did I sew that wonky thing?!
Well, I confess.. it was really the new machine. And yes that I can't drive straight. And still I have no idea to fix it:( Or maybe I need some exercises..
Ok, it's enough for today. We will see how the next ones come out.. tomorrow. *still I can't imagine what that 'wonky thing' would be tomorrow*
Happy Friday, everyone... ^_^

Ouch..

Anytime I started to sew something, I had a little problem and then, all of a sudden, it stopped. And in my zig zag & another stitches, it seems to not catch the bobbin thread in the second half of the zigzag. So I end up with a straight stitch in my zig zag setting.
Now I need a glass of wine (did I say wine?! hey.. I dont drink alcohol!), leave it alone for a bit, come back, and futz a bit... and it seems ok for about one quilt block. And then it starts eating thread again.
Is the machine really that sensitive to thread & needle?? It didn't seem to matter for a while. But now it seems so picky!
So, is this something that I need to bring my machine on for? Or am I just an idiot when it comes to needle & thread usage?!
I'll probably need more wine to bring it in. But if any of you have the "ouch!" solutions, I'm all ears!
