Woe is me Wednesday

I was doing so good on quilting the second BB quilt... thought for sure I'd be able to take it to guild meeting tomorrow night along with the first one.... then I ran out of bobbin thread ( on the bobbin that is), popped in a new bobbin that just didn't fit right... I played around with it and played around with it... tightened the bobbin case screw, loosened it, took yards of thread off from the bobbin thinking it might just be overfilled... nope, that wasn't it.  I got out a new bobbin and tested it, almost perfect right out of the gate.

Then I went to test it and Mo'e started acting up... would take big stitches if I wanted to move from right to left or left to right and he was hesitating.  Seemed to be ok going just back and forth, but I need to be able to do more than that... I'm doing ribbon candy in the sashings and borders for one thing.

Just out of curiosity I took it out of  regulated' and just let it fly... no problems whatsoever.. did loops over and over and over again without even breaking a sweat.  Turned it back to regulated and he acted up again.  I cleaned the rails (I had found a thread wrapped around a wheel which was causing some problems earlier), but I didn't see anything that would be causing this behavior.... and if that's what it was, why would it only do it when in regulated mode??

So, with only a little less than two rows to go, I shut Mo'e off for the night ...  hubby has dr appt right in the middle of the day so I'll try again the morning.  If he's still misbehavin', I'll stop in to Gall's after the dr appt. if I don't call him before we leave for dr at noon.

 I THOUGHT I had blue bobbins to match the blue I'm using on top... nope, so went with gray/silver... and it's looking nicer than I thought it would.
This pic below is from the underside of the quilt... I was checking tension.  There's a thread in the pic (goes at an angle) that wasn't supposed to be there... it was loose and I just pulled it off after I saw it.

I'm not sure which row this is... it kind of looks like it might be the second one... I took the pic just to see if the texture was showing.  The ribbon candy isn't perfect but it's close enough and I'm hoping that washing the quilt will help hide most of the imperfections.

Ok, time to call it a night here...

take care...
