After spending 120 hours quilting one large project, I kept the momentum going. When I ran out of bobbin thread on the
bed quilt, I switched to another ufo.

Then this thread started running low. I diverted my attention to problem areas. Plenty of bad stitches to redo which slowed my progress while I await more thread. Here's an area that developed tucks and creases:

| unstitched quilting to smooth it out |
Quilting lines run on the bias in this area. More basting. Will it behave now?
 |
| basted grid |
Predicting problems elsewhere, I added more basting there too. That's when the walking foot fell apart. Spring unsprung!
 |
| . . . couldn't put it back together again |
The dealer/repairman had reassembled one for someone else before, but it was fussy and fiddly work. This time they're ordering a new foot. No charge but no walking foot for at least a week. Fortunately threads arrived. Back to fmq on the
bed quilt. Saved from housework.
