Love that you did blue and not a traditional red. <br /><br />Thanks for linking up this week. <br /><br />(Maybe the swearing drove off the mojo stealing knomes?

I sure hope your nephew is reading this blog so he knows the consequences. lol<br /><br />I like the way you think. I think I made a prototype cake last night. I would take a picture for my blog but it went straight to the trash. I know how to make it better now though.<br /><br />I think your stocking is great. I've never made one but it seems normal to to have the seam on the back.

The Flying Dutchman looks terrific and will surely be much loved. Love the stockings. <br /><br />I have done a couple of quilts with invisible thread and have not had any problems.

It shows less. 100wt thread in the bobbin (no invisible bobbins unless you want to learn some new swear words). Loosen the top tension. That's all I can think of. It's fine as a hair and if the tension is too thight, it gets kinky.

But, if you use it and like it, I have some I can send to you....the thread broke a lot and the tension was hard to adjust so the bottom thread always showed. As a result, it really wasn't invisible.<br /><br />lizSpinningStarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17988891339643395864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-57028498087911422542011-07-27T20:31:48.049+09:302011-07-27T20:31:48.049+09:30You seem to have your groove and sense of humour b...You seem to have your groove and sense of humour back....well done!Baa-Me Kniitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00532601173550095905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-82175928060161182622011-07-27T17:32:11.201+09:302011-07-27T17:32:11.201+09:30Welcome back Mojo!!
