…and back away slowly…
After two frustrating hours of trying to sew the straps on my felted bag, I gave up. It was either that, or throw the sewing machine out the window. I have a very good sewing machine, which for some reason refused to sew more than one side of one strap onto the bag. I rethreaded it a million times, changed the needle, changed the bobbin, changed the presser foot, tried the walking foot, played around with the tension, removed the plate and brushed away lint…all for naught. Just giant knotted threads instead of a seam. We’re only talking something about the thickness of two layers, maybe three, of denim. I can sew eight layers of denim. Why?
So, maybe pictures tonight. At least of the other two finished objects. I suppose I could just use safety pins instead of sewing the straps on…
