Yes, sometimes I write some posts beforehand and time the publication ahead... and sometimes, in a typical adhd way, I miss some small detail... this is how the strong opinion post appeared on tuesday instead of is usual wednesday... oh well...
Also, while I was sewing last weekend I broke the needle in my industrial interlock /overlock sewing machine... I knew I should have another needle (as it works either with 3 or 4 thread but I use it with 3 for most thing, and I took out the extra needle), but I could not find it. So, when Chris came over for dinner I asked him to drop in the store selling sewing machines and a lot of other sewing (and knitting) adjacent stuff (from magazines trough needles to industral steam irons. etc.) and bring me a packet of needles.
I changed the needle, and something is messed up, because it just does not forms the loops the right way. It seems like, though I have not changed the thread tensions, either the needle-thread is too loose or the under-loop-thread is too thight, but no matter what I do it does not changes. In the meanwhile I slid down in a rabbit-hole of getting new thread tensioners for the machine as the original ones it came with are old and broken, and I realized that you can find everything on the internet these days, maybe I can exchange this one to.... And of course in the meantime I did find the one extra needle I had. Still...
I hate not having my basic machines in working order even if I do not plan to use them in the next few days, and it makes me even more antsy when I do... (and yes, I not only have plans, but actual cut out pieces I want to sew...).
Whining is over for today. Thanks for listening. Or reading. Or whatever.
