comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday april 10 2015 link love 4 entertaining podcasts ever since i discovered serial i ve been hooked on podcasts here are some that i really enjoy right now elise gets crafty i binge on the archives of elise s podcast while i m working because her guests stories are so inspirational and motivating she percolates this one is new to me and i m really liking the content which is all about successful creative ladies playtime bbc okay so this one is more for my son when he s hanging out in the studio but he loves it and it engages him so well the leviathan chronicles i m digging this drama and i m not even into sci fi it s like watching a movie without using your eyes i use podcast addict on my android phone to play subscribe to and stream or download episodes it has a playlist feature which is nice but i haven t been able to figure out how to go directly from the player to anyone s show notes if that s even possible what are you listening to posted by kristan at 7 00 am 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels link round up friday april 3 2015 janome horizon memory craft 8900 qcp sewing machine meet my new machine i ve named her rose named after eleanor roosevelt because i am a history nerd and i really admire her rose is a janome horizon memory craft 8900 qcp that s a mouthful and most of the time i just refer to her as a janome 8900 i purchased my janome from sew vac city of college station tx at quiltcon this year i ll admit it was mostly an impulse buy they were running a great special and because i had been considering a new machine since fall quilt market i just went for it i m not going to go into all the specs because that s available all over the internet but i do want to compare it to my previous machine a starter brother xr 9000 which i believe is now called brother xr 9500prw project runway edition which i still totally recommend to anyone that asks me what machine they should get for their first one seriously that machine is a workhorse had i not wanted to work on my free motion quilting skills and start making large quilts i probably never would have upgraded i was always hesitant to get a fancy machine because they seemed very complicated to me like a rocket ship i think this janome is a good blend of the features i wanted in a fancy machine and the simplicity i loved with my starter machine after using rose for about a month i m ready to share my preliminary list of things i like about this machine i like that the bobbin is just a drop in plastic bobbin no intimidating metal bobbin case yes those intimidate me although i haven t quilted anything very large yet i really like the large harp space this thing boasts 11 inches that s huge i like the automatic thread cutter i am finally starting to get used to the motion of pushing the little scissors instead of picking up my snips to cut thread i love the start stop button alternative to the foot pedal i am finally teaching my 4 year old son to sew and he s loving it i am too i m obsessed with all the storage like embarrassingly obsessed what can i say i love organization in this past month i ve found some things that i m not sure of yet it might be a feature i am not impressed with or just an area where i need more practice with a more complicated machine i have a lot of trouble winding bobbins i waste a lot of thread trying to get it right i follow all the steps in the manual but i m still getting loosely wound bobbins that sometimes get pretty tangled up i ll eventually get a bobbin wound that works but it s a little frustrating i cannot chain piece without breaking thread this is by far the most frustrating thing i m trying to figure out with this machine every single time i try to feed fabric under the foot while chain piecing the top thread breaks i ve figured out that it happens when the edge of the fabric grazes the needle while it s still down so i to combat the problem i have to slow down and make sure the needle is all the way up before the fabric gets near it i didn t have to do anything like this with my brother so i am just at a loss i m not sold on the knee bar thing it s not positioned right to be useful for me it s like i can t reach it or something i do have really short legs so maybe it s just not for me i ve tried it a few times but i just don t get it i m not mad at it though it s really super heavy the table i sew on is also my desk i keep the machine on an oldrotary mat so i can easily slide it back to fit my laptop down for work in my old house i sewed on the dining table where we ate dinner every night this machine would not be practical for having to move it every time i wanted to sew before dinner the way my little brother was so far i m happy with my purchase despite my current issues i would definitely purchase again if i could go back in time but i d love to be able to figure the things i m having trouble with i m certain most are due to user error because i m so used to using a lower end machine do you have any tips for me to help me where i m struggling with this machine please tell me posted by kristan at 7 00 am 22 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels sewing space older posts home subscribe to posts
