GOTTA GET BETTER AT THIS!! HERE GOES

Sometimes I feel like a terrible failure, but once my reserve clicks in again I resolve to be more active. This is another resolve. I am racing the clock as usual to get lunch and then to work, but just want to get something on this blog to show that I am not DEAD OR LOST.
By way of real information I am going to mention a tip regarding threading your sewing or embroidery machine of which for many years I was not aware. It is important to always thread your machine with the presser foot in the up position. Perhaps this was mentioned to me a long time ago, but either I was not paying attention or it did not register. Somehow a light goes on when someone tells me why. There are tension disks in the threading path and when the presser foot is lowered those disks are closed or tightened– you can check this out by threading your machine (presser foot up) and see that there is little or no tension when you pull on the thread–put the (presser foot down) and note that there is now a tightness or pressure when you pull on the thread. You can of course once the thread path is completed lower the presser foot to thread the needle. Following this procedure always will help to prevent many thread problems. Just a quick tip especially for new sewers/embroiderers.
As always as this day spins along my wish for all is that you find joy in all you do. Have a great day.
