Whew! I whipped up another batch of half-square triangles today, just in time for Bonnie Hunter's mystery Clue 5 tomorrow. They need to be trimmed, but I'm now to my goal of half-done to this point.
This week has been so full of appointments and Christmas gift wrapping/mailing that I really doubted I would have any time to sew. I still have gifts to wrap for the locals, but I have until the 23rd to accomplish that.
Guess what arrived today? The new Baby Lock foot pedal!!!
I had ordered a new one from a sewing machine parts place, but it was on back order from their supplier. So I finally cancelled that order and went straight to Baby Lock. You may have been wondering 1) why didn't she think of that in the first place? DUH ... and 2) how could she "break" her foot pedal? ...
Can you see what's missing? There used to be a spikey connector thing (technical term) that broke off when I was raising the machine out of it's hole in the table. In the meantime I've been making do with a Janome pedal that barely functioned, but if I put my foot in the "right" place (not always the "same" place) I could make the needle go up and down.
