BITS AND PIECES in Postcards 4

After two days of struggle, I started all over again.

Was the needle in correctly? No. Turn the machine upside down and see if you can tell in what direction the needle should go. Find the book and see what it says. Rediscover how many thumbs you really have. G eventually puts the needle in the machine.

While I am on the needle page, I notice a paragraph about dropping the feet. Have I done this? No. So I drop the feet.

Are you using the correct foot? Yes, I am using the embroidery foot.

Thread? I am very aware that I am using gold thread on the top and navy blue in the bobbin. I was told at the shop that the gold thread breaks. Often. And it does. The slower I go, the less it breaks.

The end result was that I finished one row of crows sitting on a branch. Lots of leaves. Several butterflies, and one or two worms.
