CARNEGIE HALL: 2/1/2020




I think that I am more comfortable.  I worked for another 75 minutes today.  Mom called and as it was time to advance the quilt, I figured it was a good time to quit.

I am learning how to use the bobbin winder.  Making mistakes helps.

I turned up the speed a bit.  I don't remember this much lint from yesterday. 

I think I will swab out the hook tomorrow.
 I am already thinking how nice a stitch regulator and more room would be.  Hmmmm  Maybe I will retire later than I planned.

    Is that 'lint' fiber from the batting? I have this vision of a 'lint' box much like a dust collection box on a table saw. Hook up yer shop vac (and put on your earplugs) and you're ready to go!

      From its colour, I think it must be from the thread. I have A LOT of that Signature thread. I guess once I use it up (which likely will take until I get to Carnegie Hall) I can switch to a lower lint thread.

    The quilting looks great. Is it quieter than the Bailey? I hated the racket it made. The Bailey is somewhere is UPS land on its wayto its new home in Greer, SC. Praying it gets there safely. I sacrificed my foam design wall to cradle it, box inside a box. I find that Glide leaves very little lint. Made in the USA and reasonable price. I wish I could find somewhere other than my basement for the new machine. I keep running around with a tape measure.

      According to the latest Nolting Webpage, they now accept Bailey's as trade ins. It is quieter, but still noisy. I am doing the same thing. The only other place I have 14 feet is in the living room and that won't work.

    I use Signature thread but have not had that much lint. What kind of batting are you using?

      Warm and Natural. I used muslin for the sandwich. I don't think lint is essentially awful. I can clean it out with every bobbin change. I think I actually acquire less on this machine than on the Bailey.

    Today's watermarks made me bust out laughing. You are funnier when someone pokes you with a stick, eh?

    Very nice! I'm glad you didn't have to wait as long as expected for the Nolting.

    With that much lint happening, I suggest you wear a dust mask while working.

    What a difference in a few hours practice. Looks great.
