SERGER/OVERLOCKER WOES

Now that I'm in a better frame of mind having got Tom's horrible consultant and my Arthur  sorted I have started back on my needlework.

I couldn't find any enthusiasm for it while things were all up in the air and we were both in the doldrums a bit.

So, I though I would make a start on getting the fabric journal put together.

A light bulb moment said that it could be a good idea to use the serger to neaten the ends of the pages and use some of my multi coloured cottons.

This meant re threading the serger,  Whoooooaa!

Every time I change the cottons  I know that I will have trouble.

AND I DID.

Its taken most of the morning to sort it out and I had to get in my trusty mechanic (aka Tom) who has infinite patience (unlike me) to sort it out.

Straying from the serger for a minute I'll tell you that I'm the kind of person who only likes the good bits, lol

I once had a sort of lambretta scooter but only wanted to ride it.

I didn't want to put petrol in or all the other  bits and I'm like that with any machine.

So you see why I got in the mechanic. ha ha.

Please to say he has put everything right and its working fine now.

I have quite a few pages now with a couple more in the pipe line.

Above is the edge that I was going to finish with the serger but after a lot of trial and error I think I may hand finish.

 Thanks to all who commented on the Arthritis, I guess most people have it and it's a case of living with it.

When I look around I realise how lucky we are  after all, we could have worse to cope with.

We are both still able to see, use our hands and laugh together, that's a lot isn't it?

even if we do walk around the supermarket like the couple on the road signs, lol
