In this case, you might have a burr somewhere along your thread path. A clean break indicates an impediment to the flow of thread, while a frayed end tells you that the thread is catching/rubbing against something on the path. Check the path for rough spots, including the needle plate.

If that doesn't fix it, please report back and I'll give you some things to check.

I'd use an 18 sharp. If your thread is pitching a fit for no good reason, try going up one size. Sometimes punching a slightly bigger hole is just what's needed.

Oriole, please? And maybe a ruby throated hummingbird?

I feel your pain. My starter is being a complete jerk today, and it's messing up my schedule completely. Will I toss it and go buy bread? Never. Will I complain about it all day long? Absolutely yes.

What a clear illustration of the damage done during the dissolution! Thank you very much for sharing this, Nicola.

Exactly. I live in Minneapolis and filed mine a few days after ICE murdered Alex Pretti and wondered wtf it is that my taxes are paying for.

This is simply unsustainable.

I'm sorry you lost your buddy. They just never live long enough, do they?

That's because she's a Very Good Girl. Please rub her belly immediately.

Quilted tablerunner in autumnal colors of red, orange, gold, and brown.  Heavily quilted for maximum durability and dimension. This tablerunner will be used in late fall, between Halloween and Christmas. Post image

Since leaving my quilt industry job in late Dec, I've been throwing away work-related projects and finally quilting my own stuff. (MIRACLE!) This is what's been getting me thru the ICE occupation. Here's a tablerunner that I pieced 15-ish years ago but never had time to finish. #quilt #craft

I'm 65 and I firmly believe that nobody my age should be running for office. Our time is *over*. We need to get the hell out of the way and let young multiethnic people with fresh ideas build the world they will inhabit. We Olds have screwed things up for long enough

Clearly there was some sort of misunderstanding. She has never done anything wrong in her life.

Red white and blue throw size quilt with stars and stripes. Three Tours pattern by Tony Jacobson.

Just finished up this quilt to donate to a local Minnesota organization that is protesting a data center that the city wants to build right smack in the middle of a neighborhood. I hope they can raffle it off for a nice chunk of money to help their cause. NO DATA CENTER! #quiltsky #craftsky

Thank you!! I never knew these existed, and now that I know they're out there I'll immediately gain at least 10 pounds from eating all of them. πŸ˜€

Do people even watch this crap? I mean, seriously, this clip is a minute long and I couldn't even make it halfway through.

They haven't flown in to remove Orban and have allowed his govt to flourish in Hungary for decades. Hungary is literally right in their back yard. What makes you think they'll attempt regime change in the US?
