Hmm -have you given the socket a good dusting? A bit too much lint
could be the problem.

my old machine doesnt do embroidery so i cant really discuss that part..
i do have a problem with the light not working on my machine tho.
the bulb is fine but the connection is a bit wobbly so the light just aint
working.
its rather annoying as i can only sew in the daytime as the ceiling light
just isnt enough.
i dont have a table lamp that'd work either.
maybe i ought just take the damn machine to bits and figure out what is
wrong.
maybe after the spring garden starts sprouting with some tom and bean
flowers so i know they're gonna bear fruit.
dh has keeps coming home with seedlings before he thinks where they're gonna
be planted.
the beans, tho well set up for growing up, i'm not happy with the posi. dont
think they're get'n enuff sunshine thru the day. also something has eaten
half of a few leaves from the tip back towards the stem. i've no idea what
it is. no big critters around to do that, dont see any mini critters on the
plant and it is only a few of the leaves but they're not that big to start
with so its rather irritating at this point in time. grrrrrrrrr.
oops, sorry to digress so far off topic.

<so far we've got 1mandarin tree, 3lemons, lemonade, lime, blackberrys,
raspberrys, strawberrys, orangeberrys, 1 coffee, 3 pomegranate,
passionfruit, guava, gooseberrys, blueberrys, beans, tomatoes, aubergine,
zuchini, silverbeet (chard), celery, capsicum (bell peppers). i think thats
it. around half of those bought in the past couple of weeks or so. some
other smaller pomegranates i dont count yet as their so small. oh and i
somehow managed to sprout some of the seeds from the mandarin over the
winter. cant wait to see how they take off. just potted them up into their
first proper-sized pot.
the garden is now chock'a'block. i seriously dont think dh has a clue how
long its gonna take to keep those all well watered thru the summer either.
he has good intentions tho. keeps him out of trouble tho i guess, eh., argh,
there i go again, digressing off topic here, lol>

I read somewhere how to trim threads from fancy stitching but never had a
need for it. Today's quilt is a crazy one that's given me the chance to
play with lots of Bernina's ornamental stitches.
The question - you have a thread on the top and on the bottom - knotted,
of course - but still? Do you clip the top one or the bottom one first?
The answer - clip the top thread just as closely as you dare. Then,
flip the fabric over, give the bobbin thread a gentle tug and clip the
bobbin thread. That pulls the upper 'pokey', if any, down to the bottom.
The top surface looks very neat.
Yes. I'm sure. I have the Serious magnifying light on duty and
inspected each and every clip. It works.
You do not have to forward this to 2,317,802 of your dearest friends.
Nobody will know or care and bad things will not happen to you. Just file
it away in the wonderful and deep recesses of your memory for one day.
