Sad to say, I did take out bobbin, even put different thread on all the way around. Sometimes it runs really well, then for some reason it doesn't like the thread. Once I swap them out I am fine for awhile. The poor little machine has seen a lot of sewing on quilts, can't be easy. Thanks for the suggestion.

These blocks are so stinkn' cute!!!! I am up to date with them at this point. Every time I see the new release I think to myself 'I don't think I like this one'. BUT, after it's done I wonder which one is my favorite. It's really time consuming though. We have formed a little group (about 8 ladies) that meat at 8am one day a wk to keep us on target. This has been one of the most inspiring and fun things I have done. Most of us are also doing quilt as you go because we don't want to end up with them in a box along with all the other UFO!!!!! LOL If you haven't yet joined the fun - do it!!!!

I have had so much fun and have also made 3 of the bonus blocks. I still haven't finished block eleven. I have never done embroidery before and I am intimidated, but have needles on the way so I can get it done.
I'm determined to do them all no matter what.

I am with you Cro, I am determined to finish them too, but think it will take me longer than the most of the people doing it. My thing.....as long as I finish, I am good. Finding little pieces difficult to work with. I have done more than one block over. You are doing well with doing even bonus blocks. The most finished and caught up I am on this......I have printed off all the patterns so far. About 1/2 the blocks done though.
