J-Meow emerges from underneath the sofa to investigate why these two are suddenly bonding.
Last night I had a great time getting to know my new machine... meet Juki F600!
I love how the bed of the machine is laid out... although I was a bit freaked out that you just drop the bobbin in as there isn't a removable bobbin case! It's pretty fascinating to see the bobbin appear when I get to the last piece in my chain. The 1/4" foot is right on the money - woo hoo!
Here she sits in my new sewing station (where the Monster Ab Machine used to be!) with my Pfaff set aside for a well deserved rest. We spent the night making HSTs.
and Birds in the Air blocks for RSC13. February's color is purple, which I'm excited about because it's one of my favorite colors. Especially to wear!
I'm linking up to It's a Saturday Sharing Day@Pigtales and Quilts and Scraphappy Saturday-Purple Pride@soscrappy.
All the blocks are looking great. Congrats on the new machine too, just remember to pay attention which way the thread is going (clockwise vs counter clockwise) before just dripping it in, then remember to take the tail around the little track and cut it off.

ReplyDeleteAren't kitties funny. We woke this morning with our cat between us chasing his tail. Stopping resting then chasing again! Crazy. I came over from the Purple challenge. It was nice to meet you. I am following now in my little blue slippers. You should see them in your little group. Congrats on the new machine! Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week,

Love your HST's and your birds will look beautiful. I just LOVE that depression block. I don't think I have seen that before and it is just lovely.
ReplyDeleteLOVERLY purple fabrics!! I love watching cats high on 'nip...did Tucker and Jax hang around each other after their high?
ReplyDeleteLooks like the nip helps everyone get along. I love reading your kitty stories and show my kids, too.! Have fun with your new machine and have a lovely day!
