Well, I think you chose the perfect pattern and placement of the chickens couldn't have been better! It's ok about the label. No rush.

Texas and Skand, your blocks are on the way to you and I hope you like them. I will make new ones for you two if they don't meet your approvals. As I said earlier, I had a fight with my machine yesterday, the bobbin kept getting stuck and the top thread kept coming out of the needle!

In the meantime, I have ordered the instructions for my machine from the manufacturer again. But I think I have figured out a couple of things on it so it should be smoother sewing in the future.

Even with my instruction book, my pixie does the same thing. Not sure if it is a problem with it being a magnetic bobbin thingy or if it is that it does not like holding a big spool of thread.. or maybe both gives it issues? lol
I sew for a second, and have to rethread the needle from the beginnng step.. lol I've gotten to where I break speed records with threading the needle! Jim laughs, heres me, supposed to wear glasses, but dont. threading a needle within seconds! Get it the first time, everytime! I know, I'm just awesome!

Usually if you go online and put in the name of your machine you will get a manufacture site and can then specify model number and download instruction manual to your computer. I know this as i had to do this last year.

Those darn manuals just get eaten !
