Upper thread tension is too tight if bobbin thread shows.Hey all!
Newbie with PE 770 here! So I think I have it set up correctly, threaded correctly, BUT.....
why does the bobbin thread show on the top? I've adjusted the tension via the LCD screen....
Need some guidance... thanks!
Here's what I get when I go without a list of how much fabric I need for various projects:
4 yards of Mickey Head fabric
1 yard of shirred with non-shirred bottom black & white minnie dot fabric (I bought plain red to add a little cap sleeve to make myself a shirt)
1/4 yd of the Bambi fabric
1/4 yd Cinderella with Castle fabric
1/4 yd Snow White fabric (I'm thinking I'll make myself some princess decoupage jeans)
1/4 yd Minnie Mouse
1 yd of the Mickey Mouse on plaid fabric
1/3 yd of solid red
I loved the Winnie the Pooh stuff (lots of bright colored ones that weren't too girly) and so did Finn, but the boys couldn't agree if they wanted pants or shorts or what, so I decided to wait
I love your shopping style! I think your Princesses jeans is a great idea, maybe the Disney Store might have a tee to match the Princesses. I love the Black and White Polka dot shirt, that will look really cute. You bought enough of the Red Mickey Head fabric that you might be able to make a couple of camp shirts, and shir the rest of the fabric and make another shirt for yourself.
I live in Gastonia and go to Mary Jo's all the time! They don't have a ton of Disney fabric though. Another place that I absolutely adore is Sew Much Fun. It is on Franklin (74) in the same plaza as Old Navy, Sports Authority and BAM. They have a lot of Moda and they sell Bernina machines. They have been super helpful every time I have gone in there. TONS of patterns too
I love Mary Jo's for Home Dec Fabric. The ladies that work in that department are awesome. When I take a swatch of fabric (usually from Hancock Fabric) they know exactly who the Manufacturer is and what aisle I can find it in. We drove by "Sew Much Fun" Saturday afternoon. I wanted to stop in and take a look but, it was a long day coming home from a dance competition.
I'm not sure if you've ever shopped at Long Creek Mills. I buy my embroidery thread and supplies there. http://www.longcreekmills.com/
Take care,

There are cute new pics too!!!
On a sad note though, Her husband just received Army orders that he will leave for Korea on May 26 (without her). He is really upset that he will miss most of the pregnancy and most likely the first 8 months of the baby's life. It will be a tough time. If you ever wonder what military life is like...it is called sacrifice!
adi12982 loved all the the outfits you posted -- through December. I especially like the asleep in the stroller one.
PS What's a LO?
