What a shambles!

Dear me! My first attempt at free motion is a shambles!
I sat with Christina's instructions on my laptop next to my sewing machine.
I did all the cleaning suggested.
I lowered the dogs, put my stitch to 0, put my tension to 5, snapped on my gloves and it went down hill from there!

What a shambles!

Was it because my tension was to low? Maybe

Was it because I hadn't put a new needle in? Maybe

Was it because I was sewing to fast? Maybe
Was it because I was sewing to slow? maybe

Was it because I was using up all the end bits of my bobbins? maybe

Was it because I had my needle position at 4 and not 0? Maybe

I fiddled, I diddled I swore and I sighed.

I had to walk away, have lunch, watch project runway and come back.

 I changed my darning foot

I changed my needle

I put a full bobbin on

I put the speed up

I started to win!

Its fun when it works :)
Sorry about the blurry photos!
