I Hate It When This Happens

I literally had less than half an inch of satin stitching left to do on this postcard when the bobbin ran out! Aaarrghh...

Barb said...: Oh my, that is a problem! And you are so close, but yet so far to finish...adding my "aaarrrghhh" to everyone else! Have a great week!; April 28, 2010 at 7:57 PM
Greg said...: You'd think in this day and age we'd have bobbibless machines that used two spools at once, one for the upper thread and one for the lower and they'd run out at the same time!! Off to the drawing board, time to become rich!!!; April 29, 2010 at 12:52 AM
