You're never too old ...

... to learn something new.  I proved that yesterday.  My friends J and F were over for the day, and J was using Big Brother, one of my machines and she was using the thread cutter, see that handy little "bit" on the side of the machine, next to the label? 
"So what?" you're all thinking. Well I'll tell you "so what".  I have had Big Brother for over 7 years, and always wished he had one of those!  I had honestly never realised.  I was so happy, until I told Mr Fixit that I had this handy-dandy little device and he simply looked at me a bit pityingly, and said "yes, I know, and I thought you did too"  J and F (OK and me too) thought that was so funny.

Tomorrow I'll tell you all about our day together and show you the great things that J & F both made.  Oh, and don't forget, Saturday is party day - yes, it's time to hop over to Jolly Jo's for the next Christmas QAL day.

  2. I thought all newish machines had one of those. The only trouble is that they waste thread and I use a little bit of fabric at the end of sewing most of the time.
    I've already been catching up on my Xmas QAL, as I posted a couple of hours ago. (no pics yet).

  3. My machine hasn't got a thread-cutter. Actually I don't THINK that my machine has a thread-cutter, so you know what I have to do now? I have to go upstairs and scrutinse...

    See you at the weekend! :-)

  5. One of my machines has one of those cutter things, but I never use it. I prefer my scissors.
    Hmm, I wonder what my machines do that I haven't discovered! LOL

  7. There's a saying for this, Sue: Ignorance is bliss. I want to know how DH knew what your machine had and you didn't! That would not be the case in this house!

  10. Funny, the sad part is I have had one but never taken the time to learn to use it.
