Aaaarrrrrrggggghhhhhh!
Nov. 30th, 2006 12:33 pmThe sewing machine and I are no longer on speaking terms. Tensioning issues.
Specifically that it can't keep a constant tension if I get up, do some pinning and go back to it. Either it is gremlins, Bob is sabotaging things or I'm fucking up somewhere. I have managed 3 tents, a pair of trousers and last night's set of drawers on this machine with relatively few issues previously so not certain what the issue tonight is. Maybe it doesn't like the fact that tonight hasn't needed airconditioning.
Stopped before I did something a little too final with the machine (after unpicking the seam). Will either go back to hand sewing or curl up with book tonight. Maybe try again tomorrow...
Computers and sewing machines - the two things most likely to start me swearing at loud volumes. Flatmates/officemates tend to back away slowly at that point...
