We are doing a huge amount of cleaning and rearranging today so that my son can move into our old house. At least I got a dedicated new shop area in a different building and I had already set up a nicer artist studio downtown, so most everything is going smoothly according to plan. Well, I must stop hiding and get back to work.esbbostonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09946279220170973147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808596250801819029.post-24374824689108747252013-11-17T11:42:16.760+00:002013-11-17T11:42:16.760+00:00Ah yes I am aware that the thread can be the make ...Ah yes I am aware that the thread can be the make or break (no pun intended) of embroidery machines, some work a treat others cause hours of pain and anguish. It is much the same with printing some paper is great and others rubbish. I guess this is where time and experience start to tell, in a couple of years time Mr ESB you will look at threads and say things like. . . . . . . . . AH the cotton content in this metalic gold is 15% higher than ideal I will have to adjust the tension by 8% on the bobbin feed or use the other make of black.<br /><br />I was not happy with the bird, I am having to use some PVA to complete them as I had planned but water based glues and thin card are not entirely happy together. I need to increase the card thickness by 33% and reduce the water content of the glue by 25% or move to plan CRob Z Toborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03570498194207996145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808596250801819029.post-65147161098727893782013-11-17T11:16:15.793+00:002013-11-17T11:16:15.793+00:00Interesting bird you have thereInteresting bird you have thereesbbostonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09946279220170973147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808596250801819029.post-19122636539947858642013-11-17T07:05:20.236+00:002013-11-17T07:05:20.236+00:00Somehow, I can't eXplain, your blog post made ...Somehow, I can't eXplain, your blog post made me think of the poem Sea Fever. Perhaps I was thinking, I must go down to the sewer pipes again, but I have never been muck of a plumber. Oooh, sorry, that was s'pposed to be much of a plumber. Cooper and I have moved while my wife takes care of my son's dog who is tiny and incompatible with Cooper. It looks like we wiLL be gone for about 10 more days then things should get back to normal. I am finaLLy doing my first large order of embroidering logos on caps but it has been a nightmare dealing with metallic thread. But I am slowly getting things figured out and figured in.esbbostonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09946279220170973147noreply@blogger.com
